Man in the high castle.
An alternate history novel about what the world would have looked like had the axis powers won WWII. They even made a web series of it.
Most Helpful Opinions
Most of what I read is non-fiction. My favorite such *film* is Children of Men, but I've never read the corresponding novel.
The Book of Eli was also a good film, as was I Am Legend. I read one of the Homefront books and the America Falls series, and they were alright. Still, I prefer more realistic & believable stories, and there really aren't many in the genre. The scenarios tend to be pretty ridiculous.
1984 because that is the most likely to happen within the next 50 to 100 years. And Ice Age is the second most likely to happen within the next 1,000 to 5,000 years, but that movie was not realistic. The astroid movies were interesting. However, such astroids only hit earth one or twice ever 100 million years. Furthermore, we would know several years in advance; time to alter its course.

The closest to a dystopian novel that i like is the Seven Kennings trilogy by Kevin Hearne, though the 3rd book isn't out yet..
Unless you count The Hitchikers Guide to the Galaxy, which kind of should count."I Am Legend," the 1954 novel by Richard Matheson.
Do not confuse the novel with the motion picture, which was essentially another zombie film.Three jump up in my mind right now:
''To Your Scattered Bodies Go'' Philip J. Farmer (plus the other ''Riverworld'' books)
''Ice Prophet'' William Forstchen and
"A Canticle for Leibowitz'' Walter MillerThat's a tough one.
For apocalyptic, the last survivors/the ruins series
For dystopian, an eighty percent solution'The Chrysalids' by John Wyndham is one I really like.
Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep (I usually always read the novel before watching its movie, but my love for Blade Runner lead me to read this... andmy god does it fill me with the most incredible, other worldly, neon fucking fabulousness!
'The Chrysalids', by J. Wyndham, 'I Am Legend', by Richard Matheson, and 'Brave New World' by Aldous Huxley are three favourites of mine. Many people say 'Nineteen-Eighty-Four', but I think that's over-rated.
It is 1984 by George Orwell. It is really appropriate for these times.
*The White Plague* by Frank Herbert
*The Stand* by Stephen King
1984. by George OrwellThe Postman
I don't know how many people realize it was a novel, before it became a movieAlthough they re movies but :
Madmax (1 and 2)
Waterworld
Anything Dieselpunk or Steampunk,I have no mouth and I must scream. Go on youtube and look up the animated fan made video for it. Least to say that it's a horror novel.
People are to obsessed with doom. It’s not healthy.
Fahrenheit 451 by Ray Bradbury. Never gets talked about. But it's ideas of censorship are eerily familiar to the world we live in today. 😨
Arc of a Scythe Trilogy by Neal Shusterman

I am legend would be at the top of my list
