Bookshelf Nominations - Dystopian/Utopian

[Ruby , Mistress of Chaos]

Books you'd recommend that are dystopian and/or utopian. With or without an apocalyptic precursor.

My nominations would include:
Little Brother
Feed
The Handmaid's Tale

[Katje]

The Fifth Sacred Thing
Brave New World
V for Vendetta

Then a couple I don't consider completely utopian or dystopian, but definitely post-apocalyptic:

Califia's Daughters
False Dawn

And seconding the vote for The Handmaid's Tale.

[Sanjeev]

The Stand
Animal Farm
Ender's Game
His Dark Materials good narration of a world controlled by the church in the 21st century

[Anna]

1984

[Susan]

Feed
Deadline

Deadline"

I thought about the Newsflesh books, but I'm not sure if I'd call them dystopian. I don't get the sense that the government is any more controlling in that than in reality now!

Thanks for that. I had never heard of that one until now.

[Riona]

Hmmm, let's see if I can come up with any that haven't been listed yet...


The Dispossessed: An Ambiguous Utopia
The Giver
Fahrenheit 451
Oryx and Crake
Wool

[Michael]

Atlas Shrugged

[Simon]

The Gone Away world.
Oryx And Crake.

[Stella]

The Chrysalids

[Steven]

Brave New World

[Sophie]

Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep?
It Can't Happen Here

These are two great dystopian books. The first one is what the movie "Blade Runner" is based on (though I think the book is MUCH better than the movie) and the second one is a political dystopia that is set in the USA. Both excellent and I would highly recommend them!!

The Host was a great book.

It actually was, showing me that Stephanie Meyer has more in her than the whole Twilight thing.

[Mercelle]

Yes I was surprised when I like The Host much more than Twilightsaga.

I love those books, but I wouldn't say those are dystopian. They're post-apocalyptic, but not dystopian.
