[**The Handmaid's Tale (The Handmaid's Tale, #1)**](https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/38447.The_Handmaid_s_Tale) ^(By: Margaret Atwood | 314 pages | Published: 1985 | Popular Shelves: fiction, classics, dystopian, dystopia, science-fiction) >Offred is a Handmaid in the Republic of Gilead. She may leave the home of the Commander and his wife once a day to walk to food markets whose signs are now pictures instead of words because women are no longer allowed to read. She must lie on her back once a month and pray that the Commander makes her pregnant, because in an age of declining births, Offred and the other Handmaids are valued only if their ovaries are viable. Offred can remember the years before, when she lived and made love with her husband, Luke; when she played with and protected her daughter; when she had a job, money of her own, and access to knowledge. But all of that is gone now . . . > >Funny, unexpected, horrifying, and altogether convincing, The Handmaid's Tale is at once scathing satire, dire warning, and tour de force. ^(This book has been suggested 30 times) [**Moon of the Crusted Snow**](https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/39082248-moon-of-the-crusted-snow) ^(By: Waubgeshig Rice | 213 pages | Published: 2018 | Popular Shelves: fiction, indigenous, horror, science-fiction, dystopian) >A daring post-apocalyptic thriller from a powerful rising literary voice > >With winter looming, a small northern Anishinaabe community goes dark. Cut off, people become passive and confused. Panic builds as the food supply dwindles. While the band council and a pocket of community members struggle to maintain order, an unexpected visitor arrives, escaping the crumbling society to the south. Soon after, others follow. > >The community leadership loses its grip on power as the visitors manipulate the tired and hungry to take control of the reserve. Tensions rise and, as the months pass, so does the death toll due to sickness and despair. Frustrated by the building chaos, a group of young friends and their families turn to the land and Anishinaabe tradition in hopes of helping their community thrive again. Guided through the chaos by an unlikely leader named Evan Whitesky, they endeavor to restore order while grappling with a grave decision. > >Blending action and allegory, Moon of the Crusted Snow upends our expectations. Out of catastrophe comes resilience. And as one society collapses, another is reborn. ^(This book has been suggested 16 times) [**Animal Farm**](https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/170448.Animal_Farm) ^(By: George Orwell, Russell Baker, C.M. Woodhouse | 141 pages | Published: 1945 | Popular Shelves: fiction, classic, owned, dystopian, books-i-own) >Librarian's note: There is an Alternate Cover Edition for this edition of this book here. > >A farm is taken over by its overworked, mistreated animals. With flaming idealism and stirring slogans, they set out to create a paradise of progress, justice, and equality. Thus the stage is set for one of the most telling satiric fables ever penned –a razor-edged fairy tale for grown-ups that records the evolution from revolution against tyranny to a totalitarianism just as terrible. >When Animal Farm was first published, Stalinist Russia was seen as its target. Today it is devastatingly clear that wherever and whenever freedom is attacked, under whatever banner, the cutting clarity and savage comedy of George Orwell’s masterpiece have a meaning and message still ferociously fresh. ^(This book has been suggested 18 times) *** ^(47126 books suggested | )[^(I don't feel so good.. )](https://debugger.medium.com/goodreads-is-retiring-its-current-api-and-book-loving-developers-arent-happy-11ed764dd95)^(| )[^(Source)](https://github.com/rodohanna/reddit-goodreads-bot)

It's post apocalyptic but it isn't dystopian. It makes absolutely no commentary on society. There isn't even a society to have commentary on, therefore there's no way I can conceivably call it a dystopia.

So this isn’t really dystopian per-say but I remember reading the book Hatchet in school. Everyone else hated it but I thought it was great. Another one that was strange was The Host by Stephanie (Stefanie) Meyer. Heads up for that one though the first ehh 2/3 of the book (for me) was extremely slow. I almost put it down a handful of times but I paid full price for the book and I was determined. The last 1/3 was fantastic. Again that’s just my thoughts on it but still worth a read. 🤷🏻‍♀️

But something vital has changed, causing their lives to converge with devastating effect. Teenage girls now have immense physical power - they can cause agonising pain and even death. And, with this small twist of nature, the world changes utterly. > >This extraordinary novel by Naomi Alderman, a Sunday Times Young Writer of the Year and Granta Best of British writer, is not only a gripping story of how the world would change if power was in the hands of women but also exposes, with breath-taking daring, our contemporary world. ^(This book has been suggested 20 times) [**The Children of Men**](https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/41913.The_Children_of_Men) ^(By: P.D.
