Does anyone know any books similar to the themes or social/politcal issues in the book "Alas, Babylon"?

Question

I just need some suggestions.

Just any Non-fiction book you think runs parallel to the themes or social/politcal issues presented in "Alas, Babylon" by Pat Frank.

It can be a historical study, a biography, a collection of essays or letters, or commentar/critcism of the post world war II nuclear threat or modern dysopia.

You're probably wondering why i'm asking so much.

It's a project I'm doing to get into the IB program. I'm not asking or you to do the project for me, i just need some help. Doing the assignment is easy, its just finding the right book that's so difficult.

Answer 1

To get into IB?  Talk about hoops to get through!  I got in just by writing my GPA and activities I did in middle school.  I guess they're all different.

Anyway, here are a few books which are said to be similar to Alas, Babylon, either because they're post-apocalyptic, or just because they have similar themes:

The Postman by David Brin: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Postman

On The Beach by Nevil Shute: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/On_the_Beac...

Atlas Shrugged by Ayn Rand: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Atlas_Shrug...

Triumph by Philip Wylie: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Philip_Gord...

Good luck!
