| Galveston the novel by Nic Pizzolatto (he wrote the TV series True Detective). This book was also made into a movie but the book is better. |

This was the first book I read in 2020 and I blame myself for the Pandemic. |

This! At least for relatively modern and actually a series. I was so, so excited when I realized The Passage is the first book in a trilogy. |

| NP. I really enjoyed Station Eleven, but honestly my favorite parts of the book were the pre-dystopian ones (and there’s quite a bit of the “pre” in there). The post apocalyptic parts were ok but there wasn’t anything earth shattering there. |

Agreed. Oryx and Crake was so good! |

| Cloud Atlas though it's kind of hard to get through IMO. |

DP - I generally love Margaret Atwood and also dystopias, but I found Oryx and Crake to be campy sci-fi. Too over the top for me. |

I just posted but thought of a few more books, none of which are a series, but still great:
The Space Between Worlds (Micaiah Johnson) Rust in the Root (Justina Ireland) The Book of M (Peng Shepherd) |

| Octavia Butler’s Parable of the Sower and Parable of the Talents. I could not put those two down. |

+1 on the Parable books.
I read the Burning Road series by Ann Benson and liked it. The books are a combo of dystopian, historical fiction, and medical/science mystery. I also enjoyed Wastelands: Stories of the Apocalypse which is a collection of short stories. |

| My 13yo loves dystopian, but it’s not my thing. Would these be age appropriate? She’s read Delirium, Scythe, Divergent, Lunar Chronicles from the comments above. |
