Reddit mentions: The best post-apocalyptic science fiction books

Obligatory wiki links: Dystopian Literature. Although, some of the titles listed don't seem to fit (The Dispossessed?). Nuclear holocaust fiction, and your general apocalyptic and post-apocalyptic fiction.

Some of the better/more popular ones:

• Where Late the Sweet Birds Sang Kate Wilhelm.
  
  
• Eternity Road Jack McDevitt. Well written, but not very insightful.
  
  
• The Postman David Brin.
  
  
• Mockingbird Walter Tevis. Great read. Think Idiocracy, with a serious take. Humanity's totally run by robots, everyone's forgotten how to read and think for themselves, and the world population's dropped to almost nothing.
  
  
• We Yevgeny Zamyatin. The inspiration for George Orwell's 1984. Not the best read IMO, but some people claim it's better than 1984. It's possible I read a poor translation.
  
  
• Island Aldous Huxley. It's a utopian island surrounded by a dystopian world. Might not fit in this list, but it's a good read if you like Huxley. I think it was his last novel.
  
  
• 1984 George Orwell. One of my favorite novels. I have a bumper sticker with the quote "War is Peace, Ignorance is Strength, Freedom is Slavery", which is a slogan from the book. (Also, a sticker on my mirror with "Under the spreading chestnut tree, I sold you and you sold me"). The link points to Animal Farm and 1984.
  
  
• Fahrenheit 451 Ray Bradbury. Another must read. Very well written, thought-provoking novel. Is it still required reading in schools?
  
  
• Earth Abides George Stewart.
  
  
• Alas, Babylon Pat Frank. Lucifer's Hammer Larry Niven/Jerry Pournelle. I'm grouping these two together because they're very similar, both in setting and politics. I didn't really enjoy either. The politics were not at all subtle, and the characters fit too neatly into stereotypes, and too obviously the writer's hero fantasy. Still, they're pretty popular, so try them out and feel free to disagree with me.
  
  
• Brave New World Aldous Huxley. Really just a utopia that's rough around the edges, if I'm remembering it correctly (also called an anti-utopia, thank you wikipedia). Another must read.
  
  
• A Canticle for Leibowitz Walter Miller.
  
  
• Memoirs Found in a Bathtub Stanislaw Lem. Another favorite. I once created a text adventure based on this book. It was about as frustrating as that Hitchhiker's Guide game.
  
  
• The Road Cormac McCarthy.
  
  
• Philip K. Dick It's hard to keep track of PKD's novels, but some of them are dystopian, all of them worth reading. Favorites: Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep (also known as/inspired Blade Runner), Flow My Tears, the Policeman Said, The Man in the High Castle.
  
  
• The Handmaid's Tale and Oryx and Crake Margaret Atwood.
  
  
• Y: The Last Man A graphical novel/comic collection. Decent art, great story.
  
  Zombies: World War Z, Raise the Dead, Marvel Zombies, Zombie Survival Guide, Day By Day Armageddon, I Am Legend.
  
  Also, just for kicks, some of my favorite dystopian movies:
  Brazil, Soylent Green, 12 Monkeys, Blade Runner, Akira, Children of Men, Dark City, A Boy and His Dog, Logan's Run, Idiocracy, Equillibrium.

Since last week here's what most catches my eye the week ending Tuesday Sep 20:

• Warp By Lev Grossman, Narrated By Kirby Heyborne -- Grossman's previously nearly dustbinned debut novel, back in a new release complete with its first audiobook edition, with a new foreword read by the author. I've had the opportunity to tease /u/LevGrossman about this being his most valuable book (copies of the original edition were going for quite a bit!) in front of a lecture hall audience, and have been counting down the days to its re-release: "The lost literary origin story of best-seller Lev Grossman - including a new foreword about how and why he wrote his first novel: 'It is the intense, concentrated, boiled-down essence of the unhappiest years of my life'. Twentysomething Hollis Kessler languishes in a hopelessly magician-less world (with the exception of a fleet-footed nymph named Xanthe) not too far from where he graduated college. His friends do, too. They sleep late, read too much, drink too much, talk too much, and work and earn and do way too little. But Hollis does have an obsession: There's another world going on in his head, a world of excitement and danger and starships and romance, and it's telling him that it's time to stop dreaming and get serious. This republication of Lev Grossman's debut novel, Warp, shows the roots of his Magicians hero Quentin Coldwater in a book that is for anyone (and everyone) who has ever felt adrift in their own life."
  
• The Family Plot By Cherie Priest, Narrated By Kate Udall -- Holy smokes, I've had my head under a rock not to already have Priest's latest on my personal book release calendar? A Music City salvage crew finds much, much more than it bargained for on the Winthrop estate, where the 30-gravestone family cemetery is not as "decorative" as they've been told...
  
• As /u/goose_on_fire mentioned already this morning, Death's End by Cixin Liu, translated by Ken Liu, narrated by P. J. Ochlan, the concluding third book of The Three Body Problem series, the groundbreaking, bestselling, award-winning Chinese science fiction epic of first contact and interstellar war.
  
• The Strange Birth, Short Life, and Sudden Death of Justice Girl by Julian David Stone, read by Stefan Rudnicki for Skyboat Media: "Winner of the 2014 Next Generation Indies Choice Award for Best Historical Fiction. The golden age of live television comes to vivid life with the memorable and entertaining tale of Jonny Dirby, who unintentionally captivates the imagination of America with his creation of the hit show Justice Girl. This fun, engrossing work of historical fiction transports listeners back to a time when television shows were chaotic tightrope acts balancing the agendas of actors, studio executives, advertisers, and politicians—and all of it broadcast live to fifty million viewers without the security of a safety net."
  
• Little Nothing By Marisa Silver, Narrated By Saskia Maarleveld for Dreamscape -- "A stunning, provocative novel, Little Nothing is the story of Pavla, a child scorned for her physical deformity, hunted and tormented as a woman, whose passion and salvation lies in her otherworldly ability to transform herself and the world around her."
  
• The Queen of Blood: The Queens of Renthia, Book 1 By Sarah Beth Durst, Narrated By Khristine Hvam for Harper Audio -- a major new fantasy from the South African author Durst (The Lost) with a well-voiced narration from Hvam: "An idealistic young student and a banished warrior become allies in a battle to save their realm in this first book of a mesmerizing epic fantasy series filled with political intrigue, violent magic, malevolent spirits, and thrilling adventure."
  
• Midnight Burning: The Norse Chronicles, Book 1 Written by: Karissa Laurel, Narrated by: Jessica Joens for Red Adept -- Alaskan-set urban fantasy with some real "bite" to it. Note: the audiobook was not apparently 100% fully edited on release day, hopefully an updated file will be provided to Audible shortly for those who can't take the (few, thankfully) repeated lines.
  
• The Adventures of Tom Sawyer By Mark Twain, Narrated By Nick Offerman -- Offerman's delivery for Twain's classic may not suit everyone, but it's spot-on for me and my memories of this book, and you can pick it up for just $1.99 if you buy the (free) Kindle edition
  
• Zero-G: Book 1: A Novel By William Shatner and Jeff Rovin, Narrated By William Shatner -- 11 hours of Shatner in my ear, talking space? Hm... A new novel from the author of the TekWar series and, of course, Denny Crane. Oh yeah. And that Captain Kirk fellow. "In the year 2050, the United States sends the FBI to govern its space station, the Empyrean. Under the command of suave 80-year-old director Samuel Lord, the Zero G men are in charge of investigating terrorism, crime, corruption, and espionage and of keeping an eye on the rival Chinese and Russian stations."
  
• Fractures: Extraordinary Tales from the Halo Canon By Tobias Buckell, Troy Denning, Matt Forbeck, Kelly Gay, Christie Golden, Kevin Grace, and Morgan Lockhart, Narrated By Scott Brick
  
• Fiction: The Wonder by Emma Donoghue, Narrated By Kate Lock -- "In Room author Emma Donoghue's latest masterpiece, an English nurse brought to a small Irish village to observe what appears to be a miracle - a girl said to have survived without food for months - soon finds herself fighting to save the child's life."
  
• Fiction: The Lesser Bohemians: A Novel By Eimear McBride, Narrated By Eimear McBride - "One night an 18-year-old Irish girl, recently arrived in London to attend drama school, meets an older man - a well-regarded actor in his own right. While she is naive and thrilled by life in the big city, he is haunted by more than a few demons, and the clamorous relationship that ensues risks undoing them both."
  
• Fiction: The White Boy Shuffle: A Novel, Slumberland: A Novel, and Tuff: A Novel By Paul Beatty, Narrated By Prentice Onayemi -- earlier novels by the author of the absolutely fantastic The Sellout, now in audio
  
  And a few more from the small/mid/indie press world:
  
  
• Twilight of the Dragons: The Blood Dragon Empire, Book 2 By Andy Remic, Narrated By Barnaby Edwards (Angry Robot, Audible)
  
• The Way into Darkness: The Great Way, Book 3 By Harry Connolly, Narrated By Michael Kramer for Podium Publishing
  
• The Phantom of the Earth: An Epic Sci-Fi Saga, Books 1-5 By Raeden Zen, Narrated By John Lee for Podium Publishing -- a "Whispersync Deal" at $3.99+$3.47 if you start with the Kindle edition for this series pitched as "Herbert's Dune meets Banks' The Player of Games in The Phantom of the Earth, a spellbinding science fiction epic set deep underground after the fall of civilization on Earth's surface."
  
• The Year's Top Ten Tales of Science Fiction 8 By John Barnes, David Brin, Aliette de Bodard, Ian McDonald, Sean McMullen, Alastair Reynolds, Michael L. Shoemaker, Narrated By Tom Dheere, Nancy Linari
  
• In Perpetuity By Jake Bible, Narrated By Michael T. Bradley
  
• Artifact By Vaughn Heppner, Logan White, Narrated By Luke Daniels
  
  MOST MISSING:
  
  
• Oh no. Damn it. The run of "missing in audio" Tor.com Publishing novellas continues with Brian Evenson's "The Warren", which has been one of my most anticipated books of the entire year. Well, I suppose I still have eyeballs to read with: "X doesn’t have a name. He thought he had one—or many—but that might be the result of the failing memories of the personalities imprinted within him. Or maybe he really is called X. He’s also not as human as he believes himself to be. But when he discovers the existence of another—above ground, outside the protection of the Warren—X must learn what it means to be human, or face the destruction of their two species."
  
• Leigh Statham's THE PERILOUS JOURNEY OF THE MUCH-TOO-SPONTANEOUS GIRL, book two in her Steampunk series: "A solid plan, a trusted friend, and the finest warship France has to offer, won't be enough to keep her out of trouble."

Haven't seen this mentioned. It is closer to SF, but it has its steampunkish elements.

Sean McMullen - Souls in the Great Machine

2000 years in the future. Forbidden fuel engines, computers made of individual people doing calculations by hand, fighter planes, chivalry, engineer guilds, battle librarians, doomsday machines. Fairly unique. It's a trilogy, though the first two books are only loosely connected. The third sort of brings it all together. From what I remember, I enjoyed it, but it is definitely a bit "out there", which leads to very mixed reviews. Probably like it or hate it.

http://www.amazon.com/Souls-Great-Machine-Greatwinter-Trilogy/dp/0312872569/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1397499641&sr=1-1&keywords=souls+in+the+great+machine

And if you don't of know it, there's a popular webcomic called "Girl Genius". It's fun, nicely drawn (though the style takes some gettin used to) mostly lighthearted but can turn pretty dark at times as well, has interesting characters, twisting ongoing plot, next to no filler, and is as steampunkish as you can get. (Also its free to read, and pretty massive.) Can recommend.

For more philosophical Sci-Fi, try Human Sister by Jim Bainbridge. Brilliant story, well written characters, and a young but mature female lead. This is the type of story that stays with you.

For something with more action and harder science, the Maelstrom Trilogy by Peter Watts was good. Well written story, strong female lead (mid-twenties I believe, a bit of a dark loner).

I also liked Wool by Hugh Howey. It has a series of different leads as the stories progress (this is a long series). But the one that stays with you the most is the young female, Jules, the mechanic. I can't remember if she shows up midway through the first book, or the second, but she carries the story through to the end.

Anathema wasn't bad for a YA story. While the protagonist is only 15, the fantasy setting and maturity of the character makes her seem closer to 20 in our terms. Unlike the books listed above, this is a fantasy story and has a bit of light romance.

Hey man, that's a huge victory. You should be incredibly proud of yourself for this step. If nothing else, you've been a part of an anthology and that's something to be celebrated. My book is called 'The Black God', you can find it at: https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/1727336798

'Can arrogance keep you from starting a new project?'
I think it's arrogant to expect nobel-level things from oneself (with 'expect' being the key modal here). You should aspire to be amongst the greatest ever but you shouldn't fool yourself into believing that it's your destiny or something. When a person heaps that much pressure on themselves, it can be debilitating. I understand why McCarthy chose to isolate himself, it's because without anyone else involving themselves in his craft, the only expectations left were his own. He was free to experiment and to focus without having to worry about the most noxious interference (other people).

It sounds like your feet are firmly on the ground tbh, just try and tell your own stories in your own style and I'm sure you will reach a level of great satisfaction and skill.

I see this occasionally in the self published SF/fantasy market, a type of sharecropping where someone opens up their world to other writers. It would help the project to have a couple of books already published and visible.

I've seen Hugh Howey doing this with his Silo and Sand worlds. (Wool Gatherings.) Ann Christy wrote a series set in Silo 49 that some are saying is better than the original works, which is I suppose a risk you take opening things up. But, hey, it's a built in pyramid scheme, and I mean that in a good way, because popularity downstream is always promotion of the original works.

Howey was a bit unusual as a self-published writer during his Wool years, in that he was super involved in social media promoting his writing. I remember seeing him on Youtube and Facebook being very outgoing in an effort to make fans.

I have no idea how Howey structures the rights for his ideas, and this is clearly a critical issue, you could take royalties or create a Creative Commons license.

You'd want to have a 'bible' of boundaries, parameters, restrictions in addition to your worldbuilding file, so potential writers would know how far they can change things, Susan absolutely cannot go to Dartmouth, that sort of thing.

Does either of your novels use an "outsider POV seeing the culture for the first time" convention?

Ah, okay this is a shameless plug now... but since you asked! :)

It's the third one ('Running Protocol') in this collection of three that me and a couple of friends put out. We're planning on writing more, this was our first completed set, but I am currently inundated with other projects.

I'm not going to say it's great or anything - this is a step we were taking to improve our writing.

Howdy all,
I've just published my first novel (sci-fi, spec-fic).
It is a post-apocalyptic, cyber-hippie travelogue called The Wakeful Wanderer's Guide to New New England & Beyond.
Find it on amazon, ibooks, kobo, barnes & noble, smashwords. Ebook on each is around $3.99. Paperback on Amazon is $12.99.

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07CT4Y7LJ

In the parlor of the Lester Sunshine Inn, up the Hudson from the flooded remains of lower Manhattan, a man named Marto plans a unicycle ride through scenic New New England. Marto is a post-apocalyptic travel writer with a head full of implants. He live-posts his experiences to his fans, adding his own cheerleading style of historical and cultural context to the mix. His interconnected followers rarely go anywhere, preferring to view the world remotely, making Marto a curiosity.

Before he leaves the comfort of his home in Reverside, he meets a mysterious traveler named Helen who carries a secret message from his mother. Marto thought his mother and father were dead, and is abruptly flooded with memories of unfamiliar parents, throwing him into confusion. He pedals away, but his past and Helen catch up to him and he must choose to live a lie or go into exile.

Meanwhile, a storm is brewing back at home. A spy from a traditionalist enclave bent on reviving the good old days of pre-technological capitalist glory has infiltrated Reverside. She has the means to launch an attack that will break the bonds holding the interconnected humans together. If she is successful, Marto’s way of life will end. Little does she know how powerful her enemy has become.

The Wakeful Wanderer's Guide to New New England is the first in the Wakeful Wanderer's Guide series. It is a darkly humorous reflection of our changing world as our relationship with technology becomes increasingly intimate.

Admittedly, this sort of scifi is not for everyone. Maybe you will enjoy it.

Exercise the Demons and Scythe will be updating today and tomorrow! Not sure which order yet.

Hey, just a fun fact if you're looking for more good reddit reads: /u/ecstaticandinsatiate has created a full novella, the Control Group. It's up for free in first draft form on her subreddit, /r/shoringupfragments, and you can also buy it on Amazon in it's final form.

This is going to start a semi-irregular thing where I point out other reddit writers who I like or who I think deserve more attention. I'll probably mention it again in the fanart and news post that's coming up!

Enjoy!

Thanks for your support!

AHH MAISIE YOU'RE HERE! :D You're too dang sweet! <3 Here's a link to your region's page, my friend. I treasure you, and I hope you're doing well! Writing this thing has had me kind of in the bottom of a hole for three weeks, lol.

I'm going to plug my own thing on this, only because I make it free very often (and don't want you to pay for it).

Jonah's Story - Part 1

It's pretty well-received and once I finish editing the sequel to my first novel, I intend on making it free again. I am also writing 'Part 2' but am focused on my novel sequel (and the ones I've been writing out on my blog).

I'd have others to suggest but it looks like the majority of them have been already suggested by others.

>It's been so long since something sci-fi came to me out of the blue and just left me reeling with its sheer awesomeness. These days it feels like I'm just appraising a show's take on a universe I already know and love.

I know what you mean, while I don't have any shows to recommend, I highly recommend reading (you mentioned the Babylon 5 books?) Stephen Baxter's Xeelee Sequence. Hopefully a epic new universe for you, not nearly as well known as The Culture, I consider them to be equals.

Hey folks!

This month, I finally got the courage together to complete and publish my first novella, after 5 years of working on it on the side, starting from a hastily written prologue and some notes for an ending. Over time, with bursts of inspiration, and lots of support, it turned into the novella you can start reading today. It catalogues my thoughts at the time after studying history, reading a lot of fantasy, and getting inspired by Asimov's Foundation series regarding the future of the human race.

​

You can buy the paperback ($5.99) or e-book ($2.99) from Amazon here: https://amazon.com/dp/B07H1N3MJB

​

Synopsis:

Five thousand years into the future, the human race is in a blissful state. War is nonexistent amongst the fifteen colonized planets, and the Central government runs a tight ship -- everyone is well fed and educated. Civilization is progressing at a brisk pace - the expansion of the human race throughout the galaxy is just getting started. Historians are meticulously documenting every step of the way so that future generations can learn from this experience.

Michael Goodyear is troubled. As one of the historians working on the effort, he is witness to the exactness and zeal with which historical records are being kept. Why, then, were there no solid records of humanity's origin? "Humanity escaped from another galaxy, fleeing war and oppression from an alien race" summed up pretty much everything. He could understand the average human not caring much about it, but why were historians only focused on the present and the recent past; when there was so much to discover?

Unearthly Whispers is the story of Michael's quest to discover the true story of human civilization and where it came from.

[Where Late the Sweet Birds Sang][3] is a novel that I found as part of the BookCrossing project. Pretty cool little utopic novel as I remember it, with a subtext about identity.

For a change of pace, you could try Nathaniel Hawthorne's [Blithesdale Romance][1], which I'm just finishing up now. It's more realistic than most of the books you're likely to find recommended in this thread, in part because it's based on an actual [utopian commune][2].

AI: Detonation by Erik A. Otto (read it last year and enjoyed a lot),

Anthology: The Art of War by Petros Triantafyllou, Writers of the Future anthologies should be available as part of KU as well.

Australian author: We Ride the Storm by Devin Madson (very good), Manifest Recall by Alan Baxter (a mindfuck, bit a good one)

Graphic novel: Doom Patrol by Grant Morrison (read it and then watch the show. Or the other way around. Both are great)

​

​

I'm not even fit to shine Mr McCarthy's roper boots but I am a big fan of his and I did write a novel in a vaguely similar style: https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/1727336798

​

I'd also highly suggest Daniel Woodrell, Herman Melville (who he gets most of his inspiration from) and Faulkner, who is widely compared to him.

Doesn't fit exactly, but Octavia Butler's Xenogenesis series, 1st book is [Dawn] (http://www.amazon.com/Dawn-Xenogenesis-Trilogy-Book-1-ebook/dp/B008HALOEQ/ref=sr_1_5?s=digital-text&ie=UTF8&qid=1414020813&sr=1-5&keywords=octavia+butler) might interest you.

We wreck the Earth and some aliens rescue the survivors, fix up the planet, and then expect the humans to become "trading partners" by mixing our genes with theirs. They have a hard time understanding each other, the aliens are pretty weird but not mean.

Np man, its a great book!

These 3 books are about societies in transition to a post-human society, a post-scarcity society, or something unfathomable:

Blood Music by Greg Bear.

Nexus by Ramez Naam.

The Diamond Age by Neal Stephenson.

This book is about designing and training an intelligent machine:

When HARLIE was One by David Gerrold.

Same here. Baxter is always recommended so I bought the Xeelee Omnibus (http://www.amazon.com/Xeelee-Omnibus-Raft-Timelike-Infinity/dp/0575090413/) which started with Raft IIRC. I read that and Timelike Infinity but I didn't really like reading them. Whether it is the plot development or the way he writes, I'm not sure.

However, he did make me think afterwards. He poses some interesting scenarios as basis for his stories, so there's that :-)

Toronto Maple Leafs !

I'd like this book, please! It sounds amazingly intense :O (I put it on this list)

While the series is fiction, you might enjoy the Greatwinter Trilogy. Picture 2000 or so humans as 'components' of a computing machine. Now I'm not saying anything about the chances of recreating something like it in real life, but I will say that when I read it I was struck by how it approached computing. You may find it interesting.

This is awesome, I already know what happens next.

If you are in the US you can get them here: https://www.amazon.com/Metro-2034-Illustrated-Dmitry-Glukhovsky/dp/1530482488

and here: https://www.amazon.com/METRO-English-language-Dmitry-Glukhovsky/dp/1539930726/

The audiobooks for them are also really good if you want to try those at some point.

Read an autobiography or non-fiction book that's relevant, until you feel confident enough to write it. Then write it. There will be mistakes, no matter what. You catch these in editing by passing them by people whose knowledge on these subjects you trust.

For my story "True North", which takes place in the Canadian North and has an Inuit-Metis secondary character, I read two books on Inuit beliefs, two short books on survival (focusing on the article survival stuff), and a few dozen online articles on life in the arctic and religious beliefs of Inuit people. I still got some things wrong, and some of them pretty darn wrong. I fixed these in edits.

For my story "Ars Poetica", which has a poet/sniper as the main character, I found an official sniper guide (US Military IIRC), and went through it twice, highlighting relevant passages and using the knowledge to determine character actions and scene descriptions.

Research is key, and it really pays off. Not only does it help you avoid errors, it adds color to your descriptions, makes your story more believable with key details, helps develop scenes and guide character action, and stimulates your imagination.

The Phantom of the Earth series, it is free on Amazon for now.
