I’m looking for books about dystopian/ sci-fi fiction that are outside the cannon. I’ve read the gamut of those and would like some choices that are less well-known gems. I’m not interested in YA. The authors I’ve read include but are not limited to:
Philip K Dick; Kurt Vonnegut; Jeff Vandermere; Margaret Atwood; Cormac McCarthy; Ray Bradbury; Aldous Huxley; Olaf Stapledon (you get my drift.)
I don’t like space operas.
Any and all suggestions are greatly appreciated and thanks in advance for your input 🙂
