Can /lit/ recommend me any fictional books about creation of society? Post apocalyptic/ideas for new types of societies and the execution of those ideas.

I did not know how to search for this specific theme from the sticky's links.

This and Brave New World.
BNW in particular with how society is pretty much restructured into a class driven hedonistic dystopia.

I've read Brave New World but that's not exactly what i'm looking for. In Brave New World the society is already stabilished, it's just a dystopian view of our future.

What i'm looking for is something along the lines of the movie Fahrenheit (they isolate themselves in the forest, hoping to create an alternative society), the ending of Atlas Shrugged (the whole view of their secret club which leads to a new society), or the ending of I am legend (in which a new society of creatures take over the earth).

I'm interested in the structural part of creating a new society. For example, King of thorns talks about how there was a great event in the past, and society reestructured itself after the anihilations of the previous human race. This process of reconstruction is what i'm looking for.

In Lord of the Flies Golding specifically chose to write children so that the characters would not have a fully formed conception of what society is.

So the boys are not trying to create a society with any particular vision in mind. Golding is exploring how he thinks things would go "naturally".

I'm not sure if that deviates from what you are looking for.

A Canticle for Leibowitz

didnt read it, but I heard its an underrated gem...

Ok this is a recommendation thread, yes, but the fact that no one has provided anything satisfactory corroborates the argument that /lit/ is getting shit up by pseuds and other boards/social sites.

God, I hate most of you.

This is one of the subjects I'd like to write about so bad it hurts, but the words just won't come out.

I'm no writer, but read about it, watch movies and play games on the subject. That's the way i go when i need inspiration in my field, i see interviews about other professionals and things that will inspire me in the way i want to go.
