This book! Gah, so intense and interesting. If you're looking for literary SF, this would probably qualify. I'm surprised it's not being talked about more with how popular The Handmaid's Tale has been this year and given the relative popularity of The Passage. As denoted above, there are a ton of potential triggers for readers in this book, so just something to consider. It's not a light book but once you get started, you will probably just read it in one sitting like I did.
