    Hello, I’m looking for a book that portrays humanity’s reaction to a world changing event (meteor, alien first contact, pandemic…). This can be either joining forces and organising against the threat or societal collapse. I specially like when geopolitics are taken into account. Some of the books I’ve read that I think fit this criteria are World War Z, Seveneves and Contact.

    1. Oooh I like these too. I just finished listening to the Zoo by James Patterson and enjoyed it. And I’m still working on The Passage series by Justin Cronin. Really good so far and I think there’s 3 books in the series

      Severance by Ling Ma. More individual but it interweaves some of the things you’re looking for!

    3. **Y: The Last Man** is GREAT and explores many interesting possible outcomes of [almost (not a spoiler it’s literally the title)] everything with a Y chromosome suddenly dying.
