Company Town, Madeline Ashby.
Infomocracy series by Malka Older - quite a nuanced take on politics and dsytopia. Parable of the Sower/Parable oft he Talents Claire G Coleman - Terra Nullius and Enclave too, but The Old Lie might feel the most (superficially) familiar to those accustomed to milSF An Unkindness of Ghosts, Rivers Solomon Autonomous, Annalee Newitz Most of Paolo Bacigalupi's books |

Not sure about underrated, but Pierce Brown's Red Rising Saga has not been mentioned. I bailed after the first trilogy, but that's on me. 3-4 books is my limit these days when it comes to series.
Also Vonnegut's Cat's Cradle. And to some extent, his Galapagos as well. Last edited by DiapDealer; 04-21-2023 at 07:56 PM. |

Claire North's Notes from the Burning Age
Becky Chambers' A Psalm for the Wild-Built and its followup. C. Robert Cargill's Sea of Rust (probably more post-apoc than anything, but still...) Last edited by DiapDealer; 04-22-2023 at 05:42 AM. |

The Book of the Unnamed Midwife - Meg Elison
For something more action than character (normally I like those less): Hell Divers and it sequelce by Nicholas Sansbury Smith The Girl With All the Gifts - M. R. Carey The Boy on the Bridge - M. R. Carey If the first is really dystopian, is a question of the point of view. |

Thanks Sunlite!
To add some recent suggestions of my own, Blake Crouch's "Dark Matter" and "Wayward Pines" trilogy were a fun read. |

To mix things up a bit, I'm going to suggest a couple of my old favorites. First, you might have a look at CS Friedman's old "Coldfire" trilogy. (It's going to seem like fantasy, but it's not. Well, I mean, it kind of is. But it's not. It's complicated.)
https://app.thestorygraph.com/series/16157 Another book that looks like fantasy but isn't, and which is most definitely dystopian, is "A Plague of Angels" by Sheri S. Tepper: https://app.thestorygraph.com/books/...c-5fc896df325f "A Plague of Angels" has at least one follow-on book, BTW, "The Waters Rising", which I hated, but YMMV ... |

I found this website that lists 'best' sci fi books in many different sub genres. Here's the link for the dystopian list:
