I'm desperate to get engrossed in a book again.

Very little seems to interest me right now.

I love dystopian novels.

Over the years, I've loved:

Handmaids Tale
Flawed
The Road
World War Z
Brave New World

Found these ok:

Vox
Station Eleven
The Chrysalids
1984
I am legend

And loads more I can't remember!

Have you read anything along these lines that you would recommend?

The Power

thankyou so much OP for this thread and all who have responded.
I have just read the Power based on this and really enjoyed it.
Going to pick out some others from here now as well !

@toofishy - I'm so grateful for the suggestions too!!

I bought and have just finished 'I who have never known men' from the recommendations. Such a thought provoking story.

The Mandibles has just arrived... I can't wait to start it.

Thank you everyone who suggested great reads.

5th sacred thing by Starhawk. It's kind of utopia/dystopia.

Far Notth by Marcel Theroux?

The MaddAddam Triology by Margaret Atwood.

Yes!

I've not read the whole thread so not sure if it's been suggested, but I really enjoyed Unwind, by Neal Shusterman. There's a series of them and I found them really gripping.

The many duplicate posts. It just made me smile as it felt a bit trippy and quite cool on a thread about dystopian novels!

CantFindTheBeat · 20/01/2023 21:04

@BigMadAdrian

Oh yes -
I think MN was quite glitchy that day.

Or maybe folk were very keen to put forward their suggestion!!!

just read Afterland by Lauren Bauker - i enjoyed it / again a world without men story

Another, nother vote for Station Eleven. It is really good. I don't usually go for dystopia fiction, but even I enjoyed it.

Totally agree with Station Eleven.
