The End of the World & After - But Not US-centric!
Much of the post/apoc genre is taken up by US-centric fiction, giving a very specific mindset & often a similar type of apocalypse. There's a strong focus on guns & military. Settings outside the US can provide us with unusual, diverse & interesting stories of survival
Sister list to: Zombie Apocs - But Not US-centric
Fictional settings allowed. Some books may cross borders, inc sections in the US. Allowance made for US indigenous authors
First of a series only

Not Only Orwell - Dystopias written by women
Everyone knows George Orwell or Aldous Huxley. Their works are considered to be the staples of dystopia stories.
But are they?
Most of the people know Octavia E. Butler or Margaret Atwood. They showed the feminine side of dystopia. But this subgenre of science fiction have much more to offer.
Yes, you find here all the famous ladies too but I'll do my best to find even more. So I hope the fellow Boundlings will help too💗
"The government wouldn't do that!" Yes, they would
Books and reading are political.
We’re All Gonna Die
Apocalyptic and/or post apocalyptic books
Arcane inspired fantasy
Now that we are all waiting for the new side stories after the ending of Arcane there is a huge empty space begging to be satisfied with the same feeling of season one (mostly, season two went very middle class and we lost the potential of what could have been one of the greatest revolutionary stories in recent media)
Criteria for the books consist generally • Class schisms • Political intrigue • Moral questions of privilege and responsibility • Picks with queer stories
Literary Climate Axiety
Books that use climate change as a major force or backdrop.
The End & After - No Cis-Male Authors Allowed ☣
If you ask someone what apocalyptic or post-apocalyptic fiction they've read, there's a fair chance much of that list will have been written by cis men, because they're the books that get the most promotion in the genre.
My hope is that this list will help someone find a new favourite author! ♡
Sister list to: Zombie Apocs - No Cis-Male Authors Allowed
First of a series only
Suggestions so welcome, particularly for trans, enby, & other authors of marginalised genders

Biopunk Sci-Fi
Since my Solarpunk list was liked so much I decided to just continue with the sci-fi subgenres.
Biopunk is a sci-fi subgenre that fuses biology, technology, and often dystopian themes. It involves themes of genetic engineering, body modifications, biotechnology, and the ethical consequences of these advancements on society. The subgenre is closely related to cyberpunk and has lots of overlap. We follow underdogs that fight against the system or try to carve out a little bit of freedom.
Dystopian fiction for these dystopian times
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.
Moms For Liberty Censor Idaho
Fuck censorship! This is not in support of this group but to bring awareness of their actions. Started by Cierra Clarke of Twin Falls, Idaho Moms for Liberty has challenged more than 95 books in the districts collection, two of which have been removed. This is a list of the books challenged as of 2026.
The Booker Prize Longlist & Winners 2001+
For people who are interested in a long-term challenge to read all of the Booker Prize longlisted books! Before 2001 there were only shortlisted books so I am going to separate these into two different lists. After I finish adding in all of the books, I'll pin a comment with the winners by year in case you are only interested in those! (Work in Progress - I'm adding too many books to the database at once haha)
