There's a similar genre of books known as TEOTWAWKI, which stands for The End of The World as We Know It. I read a lot of that, especially what happens if the US suffers an Electromagnetic Pulse (EMP) which basically fries all microchips and the power grid. And since everything has a microchip in it, damn near everything we rely on will go down, from cars and trucks to water systems and electrical systems.

A good start to this genre is a book called Going Home by A. American. It's about a guy stranded about 250 miles from home when the EMP hits. And he has to hoof it back home even as civilization is crumbling around him.

Another genre is zombie apocalypse novels. A good one is White Flag of the Dead by John Talluto.

Hope you like them.

You'd probably like Neil Gaiman's work. The Graveyard Book was the first I read, but his most popular are the Sandman series and American Gods. Also, Coraline.

Do anything by Khaled Hosseini! That gives you the perspective on the Middle East.

"The Giver" series
