    I would definitely say to check out Station Eleven if you haven’t read it yet. It’s a post-apocalyptic dystopian set 20 years after a flu wipes out 99% of the population. It’s great if you like multiple timelines and seemingly unrelated characters/stories that slowly start to weave together and make sense by the end. The tv show adaptation is different but also amazing.

      Huge fan of dystopian books. Station Eleven has to be top of the list for me. Love Emily St John Mandel's writing style.

    I picked up a book called The Runner A Postapocalyptic Tale at an anime convention a few years ago and ended up absolutely loving it. Basically this girl has inherited the job of a runner after her father disappeared two years ago and sets out to run to a tower to find an Oracle.

    I liked Wool at the start but thought it fell apart by the third book. LOVED the Arc of the Scythe trilogy. My grandson put me onto it when he was about 15. He had a lot to say about why Utopian settings always end up being dystopian.

    Love the Arc of the Scythe series, Wayward Pines series and the Silo series all!
    I will recommend Wolf by Wolf duology by Ryan Graudin. It's a YA Historical Fiction and Dystopia-series about what happened when Hitler won WW2.
    Beginning of synopsis: "The year is 1956, and the Axis powers of the Third Reich and Imperial Japan rule. To commemorate their Great Victory, Hitler and Emperor Hirohito host the Axis Tour: an annual motorcycle race across their conjoined continents. The victor is awarded an audience with the highly reclusive Adolf Hitler at the Victor’s Ball in Tokyo..."

    Riddley Walker by Russell Hoban (a difficult read due to the "devolved English" its written in, but once you get past the language...)

This Paves Way To The Control And Cultivation Of The Most Powerful Energy In Existence, Time. A Timekeeper Overcoming Her Dark Past Attends The Gridwick Academy Of Timekeeping, A Place Filled With Mystery, Darkness, And Secrets Lurking Around Every Point In Time.

    Thirteen and Altered Carbon, by Richard K. Morgan, are dark dystopias. However, there's a bit of graphic sex that is annoying and unnecessary. For older dystopias, you could try PKD's The Man Who Japed or Andre Norton's The Stars are Ours.
