I have already read the Hunger Games Series, the Divergent series, Maze Runner, the Bone Season, pretty much everything that is well know or most suggested. Now I am looking for something new/upcoming/underrated???
Basically a dystopian or post-apocalyptic crumbling society that is in dire need of a rebellion against a totalitarian regime.
Fantasy element would be a great addition (I really enjoyed the Bone Season )

Red rising by pierce brown
I really love the Unwind dystology by Neal Shusterman.
Red Rising, seriously look no further. Basically Spartacus in space. Absolutely awesome.
Ok so this is on the less crumbling side but Shades of Grey by Jasper Fforde and its sequel Red Side Story. It’s a rebuilt post apocalyptic society where your whole life is defined by what colour vision you have and your obedience to the rules. The main character is questioning everything and starts to dig into what information he isn’t allowed to know and why and what’s really going on
Shades children by Garth Nix. It’s an older book 1997, and it’s not perfect, but the setting and the grimdark dystopia is great.
super sad true love story by gary shteyngart
The Aurelian Cycle series by Rosaria Munda is kind of a different take, it’s what happens after that rebellion and figuring a new way of running things. It’s a YA fantasy series, exceptionally well done.
The Shadow Children series by Margaret Peterson Haddix. This is an older kids series, but I read it for the first time as an adult and enjoyed it. If you dont mind middle grade or YA you should give it a try.
The Postman by David Brin
