You´re very welcome, Vanilla, but you won´t find anything apocalyptic or Stephen King style in either of them. Any spesh reason you like distopias ? SF, in general, for instance, usually appeals more to guys, I think.

Ever since I read the Handmaid's tale at 15 I fell in love with the genre. I also became ridiculously obsessed through my love of the game Fallout.

Yes, I´ve seen other people here enthusing about The Handmaid´s Tale, although I´ve never read any Atwood myself. Maybe I´ll try to find that though, as you think so highly of it.

You know how the fiction bit of Jurassic Park is just a development of existing technology ? Well, there´s a great book called The Philosopher´s Stone by Colin Wilson, which also develops slowly from the real to the unreal. Again, not too dramatic, but a real page-turner none the less, as you follow the protagonist´s discovery of something plausibly presented, but completely unexpected .....
