like Divergent

The maze runner . I'm currently reading it and so far loving the hell out of it .

Aldous Huxley - Brave New World
George Orwell - 1984
Ray Bradbury - Fahrenheit 451
Suzanne Collins - The Hunger Games
Ally Condie - Matched trilogy

You mean Young Adult Dystopian I think? Because Jibran has listed some amazing reads, but if you're looking for YA, those aren't yet for you (except maybe The Hunger Games and the Matched trilogy).

Adding:
Unwind - Neal Shusterman
The Host - Stephenie Meyer
Warm Bodies - Isaac Marion

friends you must try the lost girl by sangu mandanna.

well friends i m already done with
hunger games
matched trio
warm bodies
the host
unwind
i am no. one
obsidion lux series
across the universe
under the never sky etc

Wish I could help you more, Kinza, but my YA list is small. I think you can get plenty of good ones off the Goodreads Choice Awards if you skim through them.

Since you have read plenty of YA dystopian stuff, how about upgrading to some solid stuff like Huxley and Orwell?

I agree.

Do not forget the The Selection by Kiera Cass.

Toby alone series by Timothee de Fombelle,The Unwanteds series by Lisa McMann,The Infinity Ring series(many authors),The Ascendance Trilogy Jennifer A. Nielsen,The magesterium series,the supernaturalists Eoin Colfer,The Wondla series Tony Ditlerizzi (Personal fav of Rick Riordan),Undertakers series by i forgot.

The Orphan Masters Son BY Adam Johnson.

The Handmaid's Tale BY Margaret Atwood.

Oryx and Crake BY Margaret Atwood.

A Clockwork Orange by Anthony Burges


They are dystopian books, but they are not teen fiction by any stretch.

The Memory Police by Yōko Ogawa

The Testaments by Margaret Atwood

The Handmaid's Tale by Margaret Atwood

And of course :
1984 by George Orwell

Animal Farm by George Orwell

Brave New World by Aldous Huxley

Lord of the Flies by William Golding
Not a favourite of mine,though.

We by Yevgeny Zamyatin

The Time Machine by H.G. Wells

Fahrenheit 451 by Ray Bradbury
I didn't like it much.

George Orwell's 1984 and Animal Farm

In YA i recently read Ember in the ashes series..2 books in. Pretty good so far
There is also Red Rising Saga...didnt really like it but maybe you can give it a try..
Otherwise some really good ones are mentioned like animal farm, 1984 etc.

Dhanak / دھنک by Ghulam Abbas

An Urdu dystopian novel set in Pakistan.
Can be read on rekhta.

Saba Tahir illustrates cruelty and ruthlessness like no one else...
I just have to hand it to her."

True. Surprisingly she actually made me care about the characters. There was realness to them with self doubt which was done very intelligently.

Uglies

this series is good too.

The best Dystopian series that I've read are Legend by Marie Lu and Shatter Me by Tahereh Mafi...
There's also this one more series.. which actually is Urban Fantasy but with almost a dystopian twist to it.. It's Steel & Stone by Annette Marie... It is AMAZING!!!

Before She Sleeps by Bina Shah
Looks interesting,but I haven't read it.

the hunger games

when it comes to Dystonian genre, I would highly recommend Red Rising Saga by Pierce Brown. I've seen a lot of people comparing it to The Hunger Games (it is kinda similar but i agree with them only a little because the comparisons end after the first book). It's sci-fi and YA so if that turns you off, I wouldn't recommend it. The story is very character driven and the world building is great as well.
