Good Dystopian/Sci-fi/YA books?

Have you read song of ice and fire (game of thrones)!? I picked up the first book like 'hmm, surely this fuss is overrated' 2 chapters in and ...woah! George RR martain has a way of writing that works so amazing in my mind i'm hooked on his every word! and the characters ... its not Tolkien handsome good guys vs ugly bad guys , no the charcters feel like real people, what they do adn say and the places they are can really be connected with! anyway, read the books though there's 2 more on the way :P

also, prehaps you might want to read Aldus Huxley's Brave New World. Its a short story, read more for the image of the post-modernist Utopian ideal society he creates than the ok plot line. But I mean its a great book, Henry ford is jesus and people are made on conveyor belts. Sounds weird i know, but its actually a really interesting read.

Have you read Philip Pullman's His Dark Materials? The first book was made into an kinda-ok film the Golden Compass? well anyway, those books are about he death of god. Just try and find a better subject, i dare you. But i mean the 3 books span across alternate realities, magical technology, witches, talking armored bears, ghosts and demons. It explores the spectrum of what it is to be human and all to create my second favorited literary series after Song of Ice and Fire.

Wool - Hugh Howey - people living underground in a silo with a screan watching a burning world outside.

Where the Wolf Spiders Sleep - Living zodiac, one destined to die, and a quest to find the Grim Reaper's golden heart.

City of Bones - Angels and demons. There is a movie coming out based on this series.

Harry Potter (Don't think I need to tell you lol).

You might like the long walk by Stephen King, give it a go.

You could always try the grandaddy of dystopian fiction - Brave new world by Aldous Huxley

Then there is the Foundation Triology by Issac Asimov and I Robot (actually virtually anything by Asimov)

Then there is Brian Aldiss - Fahrenheit 451 and again virtually everything by him

You could also try Ursula Le Guin, Robert Heinlien, Anne McCaffrey, Philip K Dick - Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep (Blade Runner)

Gone by Michael Grant

Blood Red Road by Moira Young

Ashes,ashes by Jo Treggiari

And coming soon The Testing by Joelle Charbonneau

The Bar Code Tattoo.

Armageddon's Children (The Genesis of Shannara series).

Divided Kingdom.

The City of Ember (Ember Book series).

Ship Breaker and Drowned Cities by Paolo Bacigalupi

Printz award winner

The Uglies series, possibly? Four books.

It's about a world where when you become a teenager you go through a transformation to mold you to the socially acceptable idea of "beauty".

Pretty cool if i say so myself.

Have fun reading!

Well only from what I've read I would say the mortal instruments series but as a male I have grown increasingly bored in the series in book 3 as to me it is too twilighty but maybe you will enjoy it still

Check out Freak of Nature by Julia Crane.

http://www.amazon.com/Freak-of-Nature-ebook/dp/B00...

Donate Body to Science. Check.

When seventeen-year-old Kaitlyn checked the box, she never suspected she’d have her life–and her body–stolen from her. She awakens one day in a secret laboratory to discover that her body is now half-robot and is forced to hide her own secret: that she still has human emotions and a human mind. If the scientists who made her find out, they’ll erase what remains of who she was.

Kaitlyn finds an unlikely ally in Lucas, a handsome, brilliant scientist who can’t get over the guilt he feels knowing she was once a vibrant, beautiful young woman. He never expected a science project to affect him the way she does. As he tries to help her rediscover her past, he finds himself falling for the brave girl struggling to find her place and acceptance between the human and computer worlds.

Plot:

It was sometime in the twenty-first century, when one discovery revolutionized the world further than any ever before it. This was the discovery of a nonlinear power, which lies inside of every living and nonliving organism on the planet. Its discoverers termed it Meteora. With it came the ability to tap into a clean, seemingly unlimited source of energy.

With further study, it was found that only a few genetically gifted individuals could use this power World War III was fought between these new beings and the United Governments of the world. After fighting to a stalemate, the governments and the beings who had access to this power, now known as Homospiritus, came to an agreement called the Accords.

Code 23: By law, all children born who are capable of using Meteora will be taken for safety reasons to Gardens to learn to control their powers, and serve the greater good of the commonwealth. Which meant to become a soldier in the army of the new world order. Tenchi was four years old when they came for him. Despite the best efforts by his mother to keep him hidden and safe, he was taken by force to Juneau Gardens, which is the home of the Homospiritus and the new governing order of the former United States of America, now named Juneau.

Eventually, he is sent on a mission where he encounters terrorists with nuclear arms who have also taken their own dark dive into the use of Meteora, only to corrupt it. Tenchi is given the chance to abandon his mission and continue his own, which has always been to return to his mother. But now he is faced with a choice, to return home or to fight to secure and prevent the misuse of The Sword of Heaven, an ancient weapon of unparalleled power forged of Meteora itself. If not kept in check, The Sword will throw the world into an apocalyptic age from which we may never recover, a fate that will visit both Homospiritus and humankind alike.
