Dystopia novel recommendations

[ElvenElf]

Hoping for some help with dystopian and/apocalyptic novel recommendations for my DD15.
She has read and enjoyed the following (which I think fit this):
Hunger Games
Handmaid's Tale
The Road
1984
Brave New World

There will be more I am sure but those are the ones I can recount off the top of my head.
Argh just noticed error in thread title!

I really enjoyed Eve of Man by Tom and Giovanna Fletcher, books 1&2 are out eagerly awaiting the 3rd

The other margaret atwood one dystopian trilogy is really good - Oryx and Crake & After the Flood and Madd Adam.

Also the Emily St John Mandel ones, Station 11 and Sea of Tranquility and The Glass Hotel.

I love this kind of fiction and Station 11 (and the tv show) and Oryx and Crake are 2 of my favourite books.

The Giver. Easy but a lot to it.

Divergent (trilogy)

Earth Abides, George R. Stewart
A Canticle for Leibowitz, Walter M. Miller Jr

High Rise, Drowned Work, Mosquito Coast?
Vurt?
Wasp Factory?

Soylent Green, Harry Harrison

I've just started reading the "Unwind" series (kids cleaned out their bookshelves 😆)
I'm only a little way into the first book, and so far so good. It's quite a disturbing idea.

I’ve just read and enjoyed Naomi Alderman’s latest novel, The Future. Not exactly dystopian in the usual sense but worth a look at.

On the Beach by Neville Shute

It is a bit chilling but would let a 15 year old read it any day of the week . It's well written . I'd really recommend this - apocalyptic more than dystopian in a 1984 way - but so good. It doesn't slap you in the face with anything but my goodness a fabulous read.

If DD does I hope she enjoys it.

I recall that secondary schools used to use this with 15 yr old pupils.

The Parable of the Sower by Octavia Butler is excellent

Midwich Cuckoos or Day of the Triffids by John Wyndham
Fahrenheit 451 by Ray Bradbury
The Road by Cormac McCarthy (very bleak though)
Clockwork Orange (quite violent)

@ElvenElf and @WearyAuldWumman

This can explain better than I can and there is an old 50's film with Gregory Peck and Ava Gardner which DS & I watched ( if you can access it ) and stays true to the plot pretty much

@WearyAuldWumman - Thank you for that - I think it is quite scary but the writing is so good & I agree with you - entirely suitable for a well read 15 year old. I am old & I think I read it at 11. I watched the Gregory Peck film at 59. 😂

The novel had fabulous reviews at the time ( you can see from my link)

Adding to the suggestions - Wool, Shift and Dust by Hugh Howey.

flawed and perfect by celia ahern

Brave New World
Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep
Cloud Atlas
The Memory Police
Never Let Me Go
The Circle

Delirium, Pandemonium and Requiem by Lauren Oliver

I agree with everything you've said.

I think that I somehow saw the original film of On the Beach on tv when I was a teenager, before I read the book.

Not the genre that the OP was looking for, but if her daughter likes On the Beach, I wonder whether she might want to read A Town Like Alice? (Again, it was used with 15 yr old readers in some secondary schools.)

The Silo series (Wool, Shift and Dust)

Gather The Daughters

SM Stirling’s books in the “emberverse” including Dies The Fire about what happens when electricity and gunpowder just stop working and his fantasy novels set in the bronze age in which he explores the idea of what would happen if the small usland of nantucket were thrown back into 1500 BC. In each set of books he explores what civilization and technology survive these cataclysms.

All That's Left in the World
Last One at the Party
Cloud Atlas
The Bone Clocks

All could be described more as 'post-apocalyptic' than 'dystopian'.

Most of John Wyndham's are pretty good: The Midwich Cuckoos, Trouble with Lichen, The Day of the Triffids, The Chrysalids, Consider Her Ways.

Children of Men, P. D. James

My 17 year old loved Station11 which has been mentioned.

I think The Crysalids is the most accessible John Wyndham because it's set in the future not in a present which is now our last, although I liked them all when I was 15.

I also loved dystopian literature, read many of those mentioned as a teen, I also remember one called Empty World.

Douglas Coupland's Girlfriend in a Coma becomes dystopian although doesn't seem to be to begin with, it does have "adult themes" though. It was my favourite book in my 20s.

Currently enjoying The Outlaws Scarlett and Browne by Jonathan Stroud. It's a young adult novel I think, but not childish. Great adventure.
