3 of the best: Dystopian fiction
Highrise by J.G. Ballard
A great read with an unforgettable first opening sentence that will hook you in whether browsing in the library/bookshop or trying a kindle sample. Your perfect hit of post-apocalyptic mayhem.

Hard Boiled Wonderland and The End of the World by Haruki Murakami
Set in a near future Tokyo this Murakami classic blends cyber-punk with science fiction yet refuses to conform to either genre. Pure Neo-Noir Japanese style.

The Heart Goes Last by Margaret Atwood
This is Atwood at her most zany. Expect sexual fantasies, organ harvesting, sex-bots and Elvis impersonators all convincing served up with a domestic tale about a couple just trying to get on in life.
