Recs if you like Earth Abides...

also known as “cozy catastrophes,” these are books that deal with a post-apocalyptic and/or dystopian world but are still hopeful, uplifting, or just leave you with more of a postive feeling!

Fiction about (maybe) being the last human alive on Earth — speculative, post-apocalyptic, dystopian

I’m writing a book where something similar to the rapture happens, so I want to read more books with that concept! Most of these I haven’t read yet, but they popped up when I was googling the subject!

This will include fiction, sci-fi, fantasy, dystopia, and general apocalypse type books. Anything involving a huge amount of people suddenly vanishing and those left behind have to survive.

Please let me know if you have recommendations, especially books where aliens are disappearing people!

Dystopian future fiction and nonfiction books exploring where we are heading and why.

This list might save you at the end…

Stephen King's "The Dark Tower" is one of my favorite series. It's heavily flawed, involves an incredible amount of Stephen King books that aren't labeled as "Dark Tower book", and it's soooooo many pages. (But I love it.) This list is made up of non-King books referenced in, or have parallel narratives/themes to. It's also just a great set of books.

Before AI was writing our emails and billionaires were playing astronaut, these authors were already imagining the future.

From the pioneers of science fiction to the genre-defining classics of the 20th century, I’m exploring the books that helped make sci-fi what it is today.

Aliens, dystopias, questionable technology, and the occasional existential crisis.

Some predictions aged like fine wine. Others aged like milk.

Fellow Bounders, which OGs deserve a spot on the list? 🛸
