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.

[@CoverswithCassidy]

I have heard that this might be too contemporary leaning for my liking sadly! but thank you for the rec!

[@adamfry901]

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

[@vampirekeeley]

YES this video is perfect for me!! Dystopian is my favorite genre, so I’m always looking for more!

[@vampirekeeley]

You should definitely try out Unwind by Neal Shusterman!

[@CoverswithCassidy]

I have unwind with me for Realmathon actually! I do wanna read it

[@encyclopediaofelizabeth]

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.

[@CoverswithCassidy]

oh I will have to look into this

[@CronoRevolution]

Great list! Speaking of dystopias, have you heard of 'CronoRevolution'? It's a mind-bending tale set in a future where freedom is an illusion. Definitely worth checking out if you're into stories about resistance and survival!

[@fridahultgren8865]

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..."

[@CoverswithCassidy]

Sadly I don't do historical! But this does sound really interesting!

[@jeffreybeasley8448]

Just finished wayward pines trilogy. It’s amazing, if you haven’t read it yet, you should!

[@agentblonde82]

I remember loving The Chrysalids by John Wyndham in high school.

[@martinneumeyer9282]

I can also suggest "Prey World" by Alexander Merow. A very interesting dystopian novel series about a future New World Order tyranny

[@DanExploresBooks]

A couple I never have heard of. Looking forward to "Sand". I only knew about Hugh's Wool series.

[@CoverswithCassidy]

Hope You enjoy sand!!

[@susantownsend8397]

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.

[@caronstout354]

My 3 favorite dystopian/post-apocalyptic books: Alas, Babylon by Pat Frank Earth Abides by George R. Stewart Riddley Walker by Russell Hoban (a difficult read due to the "devolved English" its written in, but once you get past the language...)

[@jackpenberton1750]

Dystopian Novel : The End Of Silence by George Ernest

[@judyariel]

Oryx and Crake is GREAT!

[@esmayrosalyne]

Docile has been on my radar for a while, but hearing you say that you enjoyed it so much makes me even more excited to check it out! Loved all these recs, thanks for sharing 🤩 Sorrowland is a true genreblend, but there's definitely dystopia and horror in there, so I would loooove to hear your thoughts!!

[@CoverswithCassidy]

oooh when you read docile let me know! I need all the thoughts. I will need to look up sorrowland

[@sarahstarbell]

Picked Cyrus and now I'm like...but I wanna read all these though! Guess I have some plans for May!

[@CoverswithCassidy]

haha this is a mood! but theres always next month

[@UnwashedPearl]

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.

[@scifigeekshabby]

The Wool series sounds great! Will definitely be adding that to my tbr, and probably a lot of the others too 😂🌲

[@izzykaii]

Great recs!! 🩷

[@hannahblackwellbooks]

I definitely need to get to Red Rising! So many great recommendations on this list! Lots that I’ve never ever heard of ❤

[@CoverswithCassidy]

So many hidden gems!

[@shari1121]

Wool, Scythe, and The Girl with All the Gifts sound good! Going to look up a few you mentioned at the end of the video also. The Wayward Pines trilogy is amazing 😍 Too bad the TV series was crap 😂 Thanks for all the recs!! 🌳

[@CoverswithCassidy]

I Hope you end up liking them if you pick them up! I really need to read pines but I'm so scared of it for some reason

[@shari1121]

Also added Elder Race and The Recruitment! Obviously I need to read The Recruitment bc the synopsis says everyone is assigned the same birthday (November 1st) which is my birthday. Weirddd 😅

[@CoverswithCassidy]

@@shari1121 that would be freaky to read I love it

[@shari1121]

@@CoverswithCassidy I think the sci-fi elements are very approachable, which I need bc science makes me feel dumb lol. Definitely a quick read though 🙂

[@jayth3246]

I wanna read Wool, but don't want to spoil the show 😕😕

[@CoverswithCassidy]

if you've seen the first season you can read the first book, but don't continue yet

[@sonia-jw2ds]

My fav dystopia series is The Timekeeper's Secret by iLana Markarov which I recommend! Its 10,000 Years After A Great Disaster, The Entire World And Its People Are Partially Made Up Of Metals, Mechanics, And Gears. 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. Will Time Be Her Greatest Ally Or Will It Consume Her? Enjoy❤

[@CoverswithCassidy]

I will have to check them out

[@sonia-jw2ds]

@@CoverswithCassidy it's amazing, enjoy

[@bethmw28]

Definitely getting round to Wool next month and might be adding Birth Yard to the tbr! 🌴

[@CoverswithCassidy]

I need more ppl to read the birth yard I feel like no-one knows about it! And send me wool thoughts when you read!

[@bethmw28]

@@CoverswithCassidy I've had a look and birth yard doesn't seem to be a book that's really made it across to the UK so it's on my books-to-buy-in-Canada list for later this month ! 😁👌

I just finished the Outlier series (3 books) by Kate L Mary... If you haven't read them I recommend them! Book 1 is Outliers, book 2 is Uprising: A post-apocolyptic dystopian novel and book 3 is Retribution.

Scythe sounds exactly like Logan's Run. Also if you liked The Girl With All The Gifts, you should read The Boy On The Bridge. Same author.

[@CoverswithCassidy]

this is good to know thank you!

[@caronstout354]

There was a novelization of Logan's Run years ago, but it's way different from the film.

Is "The Selection" a dystopia series 🤔?🌳🌲🌴
