16 Dystopian Books to Read If You Couldn't Put Down "The Hunger Games"

"Leave the World Behind" ($13, originally $17)

Regarded as a rich contribution to dystopian literature, Rumaan Alam's novel is a suspenseful story that examines two families, strangers to each other, who are forced together during a long weekend that goes terribly wrong. The novel, similar to "The Hunger Games," is a soon-to-be film adaptation about race and class that also explores the way bonds are formed (and reshaped) during hard times.
