Dystopian fiction that feels a little bit too real. Imagined futures, apocalypses, society collapse, oh my!

Such a good list! I'd like to recommend another coming out on August 12 that i got an ARC of: These Memories Do Not Belong to Us by Yiming Ma.
Great list, adding to my TBR :D I don't know why I love dystopians so much because they stress me out! I'd add: - The Future by Catherine Leroux - The Water Knife by Paolo Bacigalupi - The Annual Migration of Clouds by Premee Mohamed - Trail of Lightning by Rebecca Roanhorse (got some fantasy elements too so maybe not 100% fitting the list) - After the Flood by Kassandra Montag - The Marrow Thieves by Cherie Dimaline - Moon of the Crusted Snow by Waubgeshig Rice - Wanderers by Chuck Wendig - Y: The Last Man graphic novels
Have you read the Unwind series?
Could also add Gary Shteyngart's "Super sad true love story" and Jack Womack's "Random acts of senseless violence"
