Recs if you like Metro 2033 (Metro, #1)...

a list of problematic authors that you should boycott

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

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!

Books that are set in worlds that are either in the midst of facing world ending catastrophes or shortly there after. This list focuses on books that show how humans evolve and survive given the new circumstances they're in.

As always, open to suggestions for additions to the list! 🙂
