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!

The girl who dared to think series

The gender game series

both by Bella Forrest.

brilliant books and the stories are connected

@BasiliskStare - this is an incredibly well written book but it’s given me nightmares since! I was pregnant so could have been extra sensitive but I’d be hesitant to recommend to a teenager anyway 🙈

Typescript of the Second Origin (adult book but assigned at school so suitable for teenagers)
Eva by Peter Dickinson (YA)
Z for Zachariah (YA, the book is not the same story as the recent film)

@CRBear - I wonder if it was hormones - DS watched the film with which follows the plot very closely - I ( personal opinion) I think it is OK for teenagers but I get other opinions are very valid.

When I was 6 months pregnant - I watched se7ev - O my goodness that was a mistake - not sure I could watch it now without the hormones but I did not sleep well that night. ( I know it is not dystopian or apocalyptic - just horrible. )

I do think OP said dystopian OR apocalyptic but - anyhow - I can understand why you didn't like it 💐

The chaos walking trilogy, my DD 15 read it last year and I’m reading it at the moment and enjoying it!

'We' by Yevgeny Zamyatin is very 1984-like, but was actually written before Orwell's book.

The Stand by Stephen King starts with a super-flu - if that doesn't chill your bones ...

Not a horror book like most of his canon (can a paperback best seller have a canon?) but full of food for thought, a little bit of mysticism and excellent characters and engaging, riveting writing.

I love dystopian books, but if you want a "lighthearted" one. Try after z by js Patrick

Lord of the Flies
Animal Farm

Noughts and Crosses by Malorie Blackman

The misogyny in We is very 1984, though both were unintended I imagine!

Vox was good, if very simple.

One of the best books

The Grace Year. Absolutely amazing book.

The forest of hands and teeth series by Carrie Ryan

The Vega Jane books by David Baldacci

I would also say John Wyndham - Day of the Triffids or Midwich cuckoos very good

I who have never known men.

This leaves you with lots of questions!

The Wasp Factory - Iain Banks (very good but also very very distressing in places)
Severance - Ling Ma (about a pandemic, but published in 2018)
Uglies - Scott Westerfield
The Power - Naomi Alderman (raises the question of, a dystopia for who?)
Farenheit 451 - Ray Bradbury
The Dispossessed - Ursula le Guin
Parable of the Sower - Octavia Butler
Prophet Song - Paul Lynch (again brilliant but genuinely distressing in parts)

Z for Zachariah by Robert C O'Brien

Philip K Dick.

Obviously.

Loved these.

Adding The Last one at The Party, really good

Maddadam Trilogy by Margaret Atwood (Oryx and Crake, year of the flood, maddaddam) - brilliant.

1Q84 Books 1, 2 and 3 by Haruki Murakami

Oh and Neuromancer by William Gibson

Julia by sandra newan. It's based on 1984 and the woman's (julia's) story that goes a bit deeper than Winstons. I loved it and 1984 is easily my favourite book.
Maggot moon by Sally gardener

Flawed and Perfect by Cecelia Aherne were both good and despite being marketed at YA I loved them both.

Thirsty Animals is very good. It's set in the near future and imagines a time where the water has run out. It's set in the Scottish borders and Scotland has just closed its border to england (Scotland has more water than england). It was a gripping and quick read.

You could read any thread on the feminism board in the last couple of years if you want dystopian.
