Dewey's 24 Hour Read-a-Thon discussion

Post-Apocalypse: Your book is set in a future, where society has collapsed, and the remnant that has survived is rebuilding or just barely hanging on, etc. The collapse may have been a war, or a disease, or aliens, or the collapse of a really bad dystopian society, or some other major event, on a pretty huge scale.
Dystopia: Some books start in the awful totalitarian or otherwise unpleasant society that collapses and then they move into post-apocalypse times. Not all post-apocalypse stories began with a dystopia, and not all dystopias leave post-apocalyptic chaos/dreariness in their wake. Both of these genres/subgenres have been increasingly popular lately, but there are also great classics from the 1800s and 1900s.

I usually put those sub genres under SF. I have to check if I posted applicable books under SF already and then move them over here, I guess…

I supposed that The Drowned World could be considered a Dystopia.

The Circle by Dave Eggers this was the first book labeled dystopia on my TBR list so read it for this category to get some votes. Chilling or prophetic? only time will tell...

I loved that one. The sequal, The Every, was also excellent.

The Lightest Object in the Universe, by Kimi Eisele - the internet collapses and in a matter of days modern society has collapsed. Beatrix, a woman who has spent years working in the non-profit sector supporting fair trade, and her boyfriend Carson are not together when the collapse happens and they must decode whether to stay put or try to find each other in a world where communication is nearly impossible and no one is sure what will happen next.

It certainly was good- strangely humorous and somewhat terrifying. I Read on the kindle, no less
