I have always loved ready dystopian books. But all the ones I have read were YA. I’m looking for a more adult geared dystopian. Sci-Fi, fantasy, mystery, thriller. I have recently been reading quite a bit of fantasy. Just finished ACOTAR. Let me know what you got!

The Handmaid’s Tale and its sequel The Testaments
The Windup Girl
I second the recommendation for Octavia Butler’s Earthseed series. Also Silo. I am currently reading I who have never known men- not a series but really good.
If you are good with more sci-fi elements, Nnedi Okorafor’s Binti books.
dark matter
it’s a sci-fi story about a man who gets kidnapped and wakes up in a laboratory – everyone seems to know who he is but he knows no one and has no clue what’s going on. it’s a better read when you know as little about the book as possible
tender is the flesh
this one is very triggering and not for people who are sensitive to gore – the descriptions are very graphic. it’s a horror story placed in a world where animals suffer from a disease that makes their meat not edible, so cannibalism gets legalized
