Read about the other entries on the list.MaddAddam by Margaret Atwood
This is the most uplifting of the bunch, which is saying something since it takes place in a grim dystopia. Maddadam is the conclusion of the trilogy that began with Oryx & Crake and continued with The Year of the Flood. It opens months after a man-made pandemic has wiped out most of humanity. Among the survivors are Toby and Zeb, who become leaders and defenders of their new community, which is strong on scrappiness and cynicism (understandably) but also has an inspiring capacity for self-sacrifice. Atwood's head-spinning survival story consists of equal parts war, adventure, and romance.
