Recs if you like Utopia...

The books that have always been there, warning that these things might be coming if we don't change. So pick one up, grab a fridge cigarette, and let it sharpen your rage into something constructive.

dystopian: relating to or denoting an imagined state or society where there is great suffering or injustice.

Books which have video game adaptations or are cited as heavy inspirations for them. I love both books & games as mediums & feel there is more connection between them than oft credited. Obviously, creatives are influenced by innumerable things, but it's awesome when developers, etc. share their inspirations. Please say if there are others you know of!

dystopian novels under 200 pages, including short stories

Non-fiction books about the renaissance. Books written during or leading up to the renaissance. and fiction books set during the renaissance.

A variety of books recommended by a librarian (appropriate for students aged 11-16 as well).

I will update this list frequently! Recommendations welcomed.

Books that describe utopias and dystopias in some way.

Books that marqued the genre

Works that layout the way to order a social utopia…or dystopia.

For those days you need a reminder that you can kick butt and be amazing.

Modern classics and some preliminary reading for context

These are all the books I had to read for my English Literature course for uni, hope this might help some people get a general idea/starting point if they are interested in this subject!!! (And also a way to keep track of my class-related readings:))

Una selección personal de novelas y clásicos que vale la pena leer al menos una vez: historias inolvidables, autores esenciales y libros que dejaron huella en la literatura. Una lista para explorar mundos, ideas y personajes que siguen resonando mucho después de cerrar la última página.

Classic political works from before World War II. Some have modern publication dates because they have only received translations in the past couple of years; as long as the original work was published before 1939, it counts.

Great for AP Literature, going to college, or tastefully expanding your library.
