Any good books similar to Fallout?

[News1982]

I first became exposed to post apocalytic fiction from Mad Max and Fallout 1 but have found no big titles to be anything close to Fallout. The Road was really the only one I was able to read from beginning to end and I didnt think it was that good. Others books seemed too fake, had magic.

Metro 2033 and the sequels.

Sci-Fi Essentials: Philip K. ♥♥♥♥

(Guess what's behind the hearts...)

• Blade Runner (Do Androids Dream Of Electric Sheep)
  
• Total Recall
  
• Minority Report

You may know the films, but reading Philip K. ♥♥♥♥ is still different. Not that he wrote about post-apocalypse that much, but his narrations are very gloomy and give you a feeling of deep uncertainty. Some of them also reflect the 50's fear of a nuclear war. There is a short story about shelters, for example. Others often deal with androids, AI, drugs etc. There are many philosophical aspects in ♥♥♥♥'s work.

• A Scanner Darkly
  
• Ubik

♥♥♥♥ at his best!

• The Man In The High Castle

Very interesting and disturbing - Germany and Japan have won WW2 and occupied the USA.

And many more...

A boy and his dog

The Time Machine (partially post apocalyptic)

Also Buck Rogers novellas and comic strips for the whole waking up in the future thing

There are a few more titles I can't remember atm.

[antimike1976]

A Canticle for Leibowitz by Walter M. Miller, Jr

Alas, Babylon by Pat Frank

The Penultimate Truth by Phillip K. D1ck

Farnham's Freehold by Robert A. Heinlein (somewhat controversial because of its examination of race relations)

Earth Abides by George R. Stewart


There are more out there, as well. Have fun!

The Road. Also the movie, but especially the book. Properly post-apocalyptic.

The Legends of The Duskwalker is a pretty good series as well along with its first book Three. Its a good book about a merc taking a mother and her son to his father. Its a lot like fallout but with a higher grade of tech, for instance a lot of people can access a net remotely through their brain and there is a artificial afterlife that is like a giant server bank.

I can't remember if it has any mutant creaturesbut they do have something like a ferel ghoul but more like a techno ghoul, something like the Husks from Mass Effect.
