Lately I’ve been into read the Hunger Games and I’ve also enjoyed Cinder and even Tender is The Flesh. So, I’m wondering if anyone had any good dystopia books to suggest. I have Divergent and the 5th Wave but I have yet to read those. Should I? What do yall think? What are your favorite dystopias?

Margaret Atwood uses real world inspirations for her dystopias, so they often feel more “believable”. “The Handmaids Tale” and the sequel “The Testaments” are a religious dystopia, the “MaddAddam” books starting with “Oryx and Crake” are a corporate dystopia that flashes forward to a post-apocalyptic world.
1984 and Animal Farm by George Orwell

If you liked *Hunger Games*, I’d recommend *Red Rising* by Pierce Brown. The premise of the first book in the series is very similar to *Hunger Games*, and the series as a whole explores similar ideas while also being better in just about every way.
1984 is one of the most well-known dystopian novels out there
If you like hunger games try Genesis echo by d. Hollis anderson
Our Missing Hearts by Celeste Ng
The Power by Naomi Alderman
