Recommendations for a Classic Dystopian Lover

[EllieLieberman]

For classics that I've read that aren't on your list, have you read We by Yevgeny Zamaytin. I believe it was before Brave New World and 1984. It is one of my favorites. A Clockwork Orange was another great one. I enjoyed the made up language.
For classics in my own tbr list, The Piano Player by Kurt Vonnegut (next on my tbr list), The Iron Heel by Jack London, and Stranger in A Strange Land by Robert Heinlein.

For more modern dystopians I read that aren't on your list, The Knife of Never Letting Go. It's the first in a series and was a quick, but intriguing read. It definitely kept me hooked and drew me in. Incarceron by Catherine Fisher (another first in a series) was exceptionally good. I really enjoyed that one and, now that I think about it, want to read it again. The Bar Code Tattoo by Suzanne Wayn was one I read for a school project and loved.

For more modern dystopians that are in my own tbr list, Shift by Melisa Geiger. I met the author and she was very cool. It seems to be right up my alley, and might be a good one for you, too. V for Vendetta is one of my favorite movies, and so makes the list for me.

Here's a few no one mentioned.

The Road - good but very very dark.
Earth Abides - considered a classic in the field.
World Made by Hand - Really enjoyed this one
Station Eleven - everyone in the universe loves this book but me, so you might like it.
Wool - Just got done with this one. Bought it after it was recommended in a reddit forum. 4 stars!
The Way We Live Now - there are also two follow ups whose titles I can't remember. This was a devastating read
for me. Just very typical people, Mom and two daughters, who try to survive a breakdown in society. The thing I
liked about it the most was that people didn't go crazy or turn into zombies. It was just brutal day to day living.
And I can't stop without mentioning The Stand, my absolute favorite dystopian (or perhaps any) novel.

I just finished Land of Milk and Honey by C Pam Zhang and it was excellent.
