Post apocalyptic books - recommendations?

[Resilienceisimportant]

Hello everyone. I have read the usual and really like this genre or very though provoking books. Last I read was Children of Time. I liked the concept but the spiders weren’t for me 😂.

Would anyone have any recommendations? Thank you!

Thank you, I'm going to get this one in just a tick.

Probably already mentioned, and more dystopian than post apocalyptic, but I loved the 'Hunger games' trilogy. (suzanne Collins, has written a pre sequel since she wrote the trilogy, which explains how President Snow, got into power)
The Giver (also YA)
And I've just finished the series 'Shadow Children' Among the hidden is the first book. by Margaret Peterson Haddox, surprisingly good books, but I think they got slightly eclipsed by the Harry Potter books as they were released late 90s). Again more for late primary early secondary school age, so very easy reading, but thought provoking story line.

Thank you for this!

There's a new Hunger Games prequel coming out in a few weeks too. It's Haymitch's story. I can't wait.

The year of the flood , Margaret Atwood, sequel to Oryx and Crake , 99p on kindle today

Whoever recommended Dominion by CJ Samson, thank you. Would never have picked it up but I am loving it.

One of my favourites hasn't been mentioned yet. Futuretrack 5, Robert Westall. Slightly dodgy racially. But strong on the idea of control by the Ests (Establishment) and the feral underclass, the unnems (the unemployed). On the same sort of theme John Christopher's The Guardians is a very spare, but effective, dystopian novel.

A Rag, a Bone and a Hank of Hair by Nicholas Fisk is eerie, and unexpected.

Did we have the same library growing up? Never met anyone who read futuretrack 5!

Thank you all, especially previous posters who recommended The Passage and The Book of the Unnamed Midwife. Both are fantastic books and are both very long, which is always a bonus!

Love 'A Rag, A Bone...'!
It must have been the very first sci-fi book I ever read, assigned in Y6. I managed to track down an old copy last year for my own DS to read, such a shame it doesn't seem to be in regular print/on the classics shelf in shops!

I have just finished Severance - what an amazing book. I found it a bit deeper than ‘Last one at the party’ but now I’ve got to try and find something to match it!
