Hey /lit/ can you recommend me some novels that take place in a post apocalyptic world?
And if there some short of cult/adoration to the past technology even better.

Pic somewhat related.

The Boy and His Dog
The Dark Tower series by Stephen King (recommend it whole-heartedly, I have finished the first four books and it's been a great ride so far)
The Road by McCarthy
Metro 2033 by Ghlukovsky
Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep (kinda~ not that much of a post-apo, but you should read it)
