Non-YA Dystopian Fiction

Post by Dina Riccobono »

I'm looking for another great dystopian read..Think Black Mirror x Hugh Howey's Wool. An adult version of The Hunger Games perhaps.

No YA fiction please, or zombies. Something that has some realistic future potential.

Octavia Butler’s Parable of the Sower and Parable of Talents?

I only read KINDRED for the 2021 PopSugar Reading Challenge prompt: an afrofuturistic book
I love Butler's writing style. Very engaging and easy to follow.
just call me "jane" :tiphat:

William Forstchen has a dystopian trilogy that takes place in current time America. It is basically World War III and China and America set off EMPs off all over the world. In a small town in Ohio, suddenly the power goes off. Nothing electronic works. Now everyone has to learn how to survive.

William Forester's series of One Second After is about what would happen in modern-day America if an ESP went off over the country. How would people survive without electricity or medicine?

This is exactly the book I was going to suggest as well. I just read both of these books by Octavia Butler and they were great. I couldn't recommend these two enough and they are definitely not YA.
