I'm an ADDICT to dystopians and I would want to know which dystopians have you read, that aren't as famous as The hunger games or Divergent for example.
Recommend me please!!

Want by Cindy Pon - dystopia set in Taipei, a group of teenagers kidnaps an heiress and then infiltrates the Jin Corporation to bring it down and prevent it from controlling the world.
The Scorpion Rules by Erin Bow - the world is under the control of an AI, Talis, who is trying to prevent world wars. Its methods could destroy the main characters.

Or or were all very good

Legend by Marie Lu

Flatland - Society ruled by shapes with circles at the top. All the characters are literal shapes. (THIS IS MY NEW FAVORITE BOOK)


Insignia - VR school with government/corporations holding a never ending war in space.


Mortal engines - Society lives on mechanical moving cities that could destroy the other moving cities.


Proxy - A proxy is pretty much a slave for the rich (patrons). A proxy takes the punishment for the bad actions of their patrons.

Aletheia by Megan Tennant came out 3 weeks ago and is seriously amazing. I think it’s the best dystopian I’ve read.

UNWIND (4-book series) by Neal Shusterman

NOT A DROP TO DRINK by Mindy McGinnis

ASHFALL (trilogy) by Mike Mullin

INK AND BONE (projected 5-book series) by Rachel Caine

I have a YA dystopian novel that's coming out in December! :) I'm actually currently looking for people to read and review the advanced reading copy before the release date if you are interested in that.

It's called Gold Shadow

The Testing series - Joelle Charbonneau
The Broken Trilogy - L.A. Weatherly.
both series are dystopian and YA

Awesome! PM me your email address and if you prefer PDF or Mobi and I can send it right to you :)

The Stars Never Rise by Rachel Vincent is really great! It has a surprisingly original premise and i couldn't put it down!

I don't care for dystopian novels but fell in love with one regardless, lol. Orbs is an action packed, book that kept me turning the page and I just couldn't get enough!
Orbs is a fascinating fantasy/sci-fi book about a team going into a Biosphere for a test to see if humans could populate Mars. Some odd and terrifying things happen while in the dome. The animals all start dying of fright. Something outside the dome is scaring them to death. It is decided to put on hazmat suits and see what is out there. What they find, or don't find, is shocking and then the excitement really starts!

The Roar and The Whisper by Emma Clayton are great
Inhuman - Kat falls
Silver - Chris Wooding

oh, I'd love to be an arc reader if you need any :)

I third the Testing trilogy. One of my absolute favorite!! Then there is also the Books of Ember (City of Ember is the first), No Ordinary Star (trilogy), Matched Trilogy, and The Giver Quartet. Hope you enjoy!!!

This is a good list!

HOW could I forget The Knife of Never Letting Go and sequels? SO good.

But I absolutely hated Oryx and Crake.

Thanks! I read A Monster Calls awhile back and I loved it. I'm really eager to get around to reading the Chaos Walking trilogy.

I’m reading A Monster Calls right now and I’m about to die with all these emotions.

Is A Monster Calls even a dystopian?

The very first Dystopian I ever read was the Life As We Knew It series by Susan Beth Pfeffer. Such a great series that I swear no one talks about.

Hey :)

If you want to get out of your comfort zone, try . It's not a dystopian as most people know - it's not about how oppressive governments and civil wars desecrated the land. It's about how a breach from a demonic dimension opened and allowed demons (called infernals) spilled out and messed up the world. It's really great, and the protagonist is mute, but well written.

The Selection (The Selection, #1)
by Kiera Cass

The Gone series by Micheal Grant

I'm currently reading the Children of Eden series by Joey Graceffa, and while it isn't full-on dystopian, it definitely has some of it in it, and a good amount.

Here are links to each book in the series -
Book 1: Children of Eden
Book 2: Elites of Eden

One of the best dystopians I've read is also one of the most underrated books ever.

It's called Slip by David Estes.

The plot, the world-building, the characters - everything was perfect in this book and it still isn't popular. I recommend that you check it out.

I have it on my Kindle app. I should get into it soon.

I know! I binge read these books. I got so absorbed in the story that I thought our world was ending XD

Some of my favourite dystopian books are:
The Rain, by Virginia Bergin (I swear that I got afraid of touching water XP)
The Loneliness of Distant Beings, by Kate Ling
After the End, by Amy Plum
Monument 14, by Emmy Laybourne
Earth Girl, by Janet Edwards

Yes! Let me know what you thought of it.

Lots of the books mentioned are not dystopian though, they're post apocalypic ^_^ I'm not saying they're not good, but it just bothers me when these genres get confused!

I remember going outside after staying up all night long reading the first and wondering why the sky was bright with sun and not covered in ash! LOL

This one sounds really good but I hadn't heard of it till I saw it at my local library. The Barcode Tattoo by Suzanne Weyn. Here's the link

I read this one a few years ago. I'd forgotten about it. Yes, really good.
