What if Greta Thurnberg set climate policy for the the next 20 years?

0 Upvotes

That’s the story I tell in my novel Scob Nation.

Set in 2045, Scob Nation tells the story of a world drunk on untethered climate morality.

Roads have been replaced with electric Jim Crow-i-dors, whose access is controlled by Big Tech algorithms.

Temple-implanted communication discs change colors based on climate virtue: green for virtuous, black for those marked for reprogramming.

Above it all stands Blonden Viate, the Climate Overlord, who runs the Scob Nation reprogramming camps and Probitas correction centers. He and his organization are committed to “fixing” climate denial.

And when we visit Stoink Farm, the world’s first CO2 and methane-free bio-meat farm, things get really weird.

Scob Nation, available on Amazon.

Best dystopian books for a new reader

25 Upvotes

I used to not like books but fell in love with them recently after reading the 5th wave seried then the scythe series and now I just finished the entire darkest minds series and side books.

I absouletely loved the darkest minds series and are looking for recommendations like it or a really good dystopian book.

The main things I am looking for is firstly the book must be in a series and that it is a young adult fiction. And of couse is in the dystopian genre.

Also I have looked around for books allot of people say shatter me but I dont like it because romance drives the story to much so could the book preferably not be romance driven but can have romance as part of it like the darkest minds. And also not hunger games or divergent since i have already watched the movies.

Edit : Thanks for all the recommendations!

Hi everyone, I am the author of The Horseman’s Dream. The audiobook is now live on Audible, Amazon and Apple Books. In a near-future Britain reduced to a flooded archipelago, a grieving scientist who invented dream-sharing technology lives in exile on a remote Scottish island. When a media empire announces it will broadcast the dreams of a catatonic sixteen-year-old known as The Horseman, he realises the boy’s mind carries the same frequency that has haunted him since his own son’s death. What follows is a desperate rescue across submerged England, a confrontation at Sheffield Cathedral and a final revelation on a beach that should not exist — under twin dying suns.

Self Promotion Wednesday- Burger Wars.

2 Upvotes

Burger Wars: Fast Food. Fast Wars. Genre: Dystopian Satire / Dark Comedy

"Black Mirror meets the drive-thru lane." (Dorset Echo)

FLAME-GRILLED JUSTICE. DEEP-FRIED DEATH.

Twenty years ago, fast-food behemoths Ron’s Burgers and General’s Chicken decided that assassinating health-conscious TV chefs was just good business strategy. Fast forward through two decades of corporate escalation, and the high street has turned into an open war zone. Recruits don tactical body armour, trade mortar fire for menu supremacy, and proudly lay down their lives for free extra-value meals for life.

Enter Marcus.

He isn't a hero. He isn't a veteran strategist. He’s just a four-star shift worker who went into the walk-in freezer during a shift in the early 2000s and got accidentally preserved at minus eighteen degrees.

Thawed out into a smog-choked wasteland where drones scan retinas for unlogged assets, the grease is pressurized, and the propaganda is turned up to eleven, Marcus just wants to find out what happened to the girl he loved. Instead, he’s slapped with a spatulated rifle, diagnosed with "Fryer Fog" and drafted straight to the frontlines of Camp Burger.

In a world where the choice is simple, grill or be grilled, Marcus is about to learn that the menu isn't the only thing getting cooked.

(I've had trouble posting the book link before, so I'll post the link as a comment- I really hope you like the premise, even if you don't buy the book!)

This being a fine Wednesday I'd like to introduce myself and my craft.

Girl in the Womb - In a future where food is scarce, children have to pay off their birth debt before being officially born at ten-years-old. Until then, Madison has to stay tethered to her mother.

Thin Is In - in a dystopian future where anorexia is considered the new beauty standard, Jack must save his 6-year-old sister before she is transformed into a hollow shell of brittle bones.

If you like character-driven horror in your dystopian novels, these may be for you.
