@Lori problem with divergent is ive seen the films. I hate reading books after seeing films. Struggling with the hobbit at the moment as I’ve seen the films first
Until the end of the world The Gray COllection by Lou Cadle After it Happened books (3) Extracted Series (3 books time travel and dystopian) The end of the World Running Club
I don’t read or like Dystopian books ..however I love the movies..just watched Ready Player One this afternoon and loved the visuals! Maybe I need to give the books a try. Sometimes too many characters..layers..times..boogle my mind. I usually prefer 1 straight story and no more than 2 time zones..eras..
I am sure the Divergent series has already been mentioned, but it’s good. The Handmaid’s Tale. Red Clocks by Leni Zumas is defintely a dystopian novel but not like the others I’ve listed. It’s a really good book though.

Dystopian!!! My favorite genre. There’s 1984, We, this perfect day, kallocain, One, brave new world.
I’m a huge dystopian fan too, but I’ve never heard of This Perfect Day or Kallocain
