What are some great dystopian books and sci fi books.?
sdrawkcabd
I've read books like hunger games, Harry Potter you know those kind of books. I want to read a really good dystopian or sci fi book. Please give me a list of great books I should read! :)
I have finally decided to read Ender's Game. I would probably refer to this list when I finish it. Thanks guys. Feel free to give me more books I should read.
Answer
Since you mentioned dystopian novels, let me recommend some with a sci-fi apocalyptic bent.
The Shore of Monsters by David J. Nix â 2011. Five generations earlier, a horde of monsters nearly obliterated humanity. All males are dead or ruined by a monster plague; words like 'father' and 'romance' have lost meaning. When teenager Sky joins an expedition to the shore that falls apart, she must survive amongst the monsters that roam the ruins. She gets unexpected help from a very surprising source. Mystery, action, and romance follow!
Blood Red Road (Dustlands Series) by Moira Young â 2012. In a post-apocalyptic future, 18-year-old Sabaâs twin brother is stolen by black-clad riders. When tough-as-nails Saba launches a relentless search to recover him, she must fight for her life in gladiator cages, overcome enemies both creature and human, and learn to trust others for the first time. And try as she might, she canât help but fall for the charming scoundrel Jack, who just may understand her more than she knows.
The Forest of Hands and Teeth by Carrie Ryan â 2010. Seven generations have passed since the Return, a plague that reanimates dead humans into creatures that feed on the living. Teenager Mary lives inside one of the last enclaves of uninfected, protected by a chain link fence that surrounds her village. When the fence is breached, Mary flees the village with a small band of survivors. Their flight toward an uncertain salvation is both harrowing and revealing, as they try to determine if they are humanityâs last hope.
The Road by Cormac McCarthy â 2006. Harrowing novel that follows a man and his young son through a burned and dying post-war America. With all plants and animals dead, the remaining people struggle for survival through often violent means. The power of the story is in the relationship between the father and son, as they cling to one another in their journey of hope toward the sea. Never again will you take for granted a warm bed or a can of fruit. Soul-shattering book that the reader will remember always.
There's some great older stuff that really holds up over time. Some writing styles are timeless.
Eternity Road by Jack McDevitt â 1998. One-thousand years after the fall of civilization, a group journeys for answers.
The Postman by David Brin â 1985. Post nuclear story of a con man who inadvertently inspires hope for survivors. Beautiful story.
Through Darkest America by Neal Barrett Jr. â 1986. A boy makes a journey in post-nuclear America. Unbelievable twist that makes you think.
A Canticle for Liebowitz by Walter M. Miller, Jr. â 1960. Chronicle of post-nuclear history.
Earth Abides by George Stewart â 1949. One of the original plague pandemic stories.
I Am Legend by Richard Matheson â 1954. The original vampire virus novel.
On the Beach by Nevil Shute â 1959. Classic post-nuclear story.
Vault of Ages by Poul Anderson â 1952. Centuries after the fall, a horde of old treasure is unearthed by survivors.
And finally, definitely read Ender's game by Orson Scott Card. It's one of the best sci-fi novels ever written.
