What dystopian, apocalyptic or post-apocalyptic novel gave you hope, not despair? #cosobookclub #cosobooks #opencarrybooks #bibliophiles

@MotherDucker I love dystopian/Sci Fi/ speculative fiction so much, it doesn't really make me feel despair. It's escapism to me.
Scott Sigler is one of the new authors I discovered first through podcasts, and Peter Clines.
@Blue_Skyesr_here @MotherDucker I agree with the sentiment that dystopian lit is totally escapism. I liked the Divergent series for this especially, and the Unwind series heads that direction, albeit a little less strongly.
OH DEAR. THIS POST WAS SET TO SELF-DETONATE 💣 💥 🔥

@counterzero I just finished reading this! Absolutely loved it. Can't wait to read the Parable of the Talents.
@MotherDucker Couldn't finish it. Just couldn't...
@EboneezerGoode oof. The book or the HBO max series?
@MotherDucker oh sorry, the series. Haven’t read the book.
@MotherDucker Snow Crash
Station Eleven anyone?
