    I have read Bradbury, Larrson, Hammett, Atwood, LeCarre, Miller and Shute (though not specifically those books)
    Shutes 'On the Beach' was chilling and I still remember the credits quote "So this is the way the world ends, not with a bang but a shudder'
    Atwoods 'Handmaids Tale' seems to be a little prophetic
    And I watched (and read) Larrsons series (so good)

    "On the Beach" is definitely Shute's magnum opus, but I just love the story and characters behind "The Legacy", which features one of the most awe-inspiring heroines in fiction. She's the personification of grit and determination. The prisoner of war section which comprises the first part of the book bears some similarities with survivor accounts of treatment by captors from that period. Peggy Abkhazi's diary "A Curious Cage" being one example.

    I've met Atwood, and for awihile, she posted essays in blog form on her website, including some commentary about "A Handmaid's Tale". Although she foresaw it as a dystopian America, many details and events have happened in different societies from our collective history. This is why the horror has such an impact, because it isn't implausible.
