📘 Metro 2033 by Dmitry Glukhovsky

After the world’s collapse in 2033, humanity survives in isolated enclaves within the vast Moscow Metro, the largest air‑raid shelter ever built. Radiation has turned the surface into desolate deserts, while underground stations have become self‑contained communities, each governed by its own ideology, religion, or resource‑sharing system. The station of VDNKh, the northernmost and most secure, faces a new menace that endangers not only its inhabitants but the entire underground network. Artyom, a young resident of VDNKh, is entrusted with navigating the perilous depths of the Metro to warn the others and secure help, with the survival of the station—and potentially humanity—relying on his success.
