Looking to feed my new fascination with ideas about how would humanity rebuild civilisation after a collapse. I’m currently reading Wayward Pines and really enjoying it so far. Also remember I really liked The 100 tv series. I know it based on books, but if I understand correct it’s more of a YA? Ideally looking for something a bit darker.
Any suggestions appreciated!

Glad you asked. My number one is Swan Song by Robert R.McCammon. Followed by Conquerer Worms by Brian Keene in second place. The Road and The Stand are probably in the same second spot but I haven’t had the time to read them yet.
The Survivalist series by A. American is my favourite so far along with The Road by Cormac McCarthy and The Stand by Stephen King.
I don’t know The 100, Googe says it’s “Developed by Jason Rothenberg, the series is loosely based on the young adult novel series of the same name by Kass Morgan”
Station 11 by Emily Mandel, and A Canticle for Liebowitz by Walter Miller.
Station 11 is wonderfully written and easily read.
A Canticle for Liebowitz is very of its time, but worth a go considering your interest.
Your question has prompted me into the attic to find what I’m sure is called The Death of Grass, by John Cristopher.
The Broken Earth trilogy by N.K Jemisin
Gold Fame Citrus by Claire Vaye Watkins
The Past is Red by Catherynne Valente
Bannerless by Carrie Vaughn
A Psalm for the Wild Built by Becky Chambers
