Looking for more novels in the vein of Handmaid's Tale, The Road, Fahrenheit 451, etc. Needs to have really nice enjoyable writing. Was not a fan of brave new world as I found it just a bit too weird and the prose wasn't nice.
I who have never known men is a book I’ll never stop recommending 🙂

There’s always, of course 1984. If not that one, a beautiful, beautiful book that’s somewhat dystopian is Never Let Me Go. It moved me to tears.

A Clockwork Orange is classic… Lord of the Flies… Adventures of Huckleberry Finn is secretly dystopic, it doesn’t hit you over the head but if you read it carefully you’ll see it… Moby Dick is implicitly dystopic, I think.
