Nuclear physicist, genetic engineer, social influencer, and billionaire Gale Herald has a vision for the future of the human species. He has hand-picked a few choice specimens of the human race, bred them or stolen their children, and raised them in a private compound in Norway. Curated into a religious cult based on his own ethical principles, the Omen have been entirely protected from the outside world. To allow them to survive the collapse of modern civilization, (which he is orchestrating,) he built a series of secluded self-sustaining garden domes in the mountains of Colorado in which to install his perfect utopian society. But when the Norwegian military forces Gale out of the country and he is forced to move his pet project sooner than expected, and  the domes aren't completed, the community must be temporarily housed in an abandoned summer camp in upstate New York. Follow Lars, Gale's assistant in charge of moving the Omen, and Adam, the head of the Omen community, as they try to navigate this unexpected transition from one reality to another, and what happens when Adam gets separated from the community and lost in modern civilization.

The Wakeful Wanderer's Guide to Disillusionment by JimInfantino
40 parts Complete
Book 2 of the Wakeful Wanderer's series. Book 1 is The Wakeful Wanderer's Guide to New New England & Beyond. That's a good place to start. It's available here. The America of our near-future is divided across socio-economic and technological-philosophical lines. The Traditionalists eschew any and all post-human technologies in favor of tangible materials. They uphold strict hierarchical structures based on religion, family, and leadership. They long for the return of the global markets wiped out by a world-shaking disaster called The Great Tide. The Interconnected stand in stark opposition to their ways, living without property, family, or religion, and modifying their bodies with the help of new and invasive technologies. They speak to each other wordlessly, employing a technological telepathy they call 'thexting' to communicate mind to mind, and embrace the gifting economy of Merit to maintain their post-scarcity lifestyles. Marto, the traveling Interconnected historian, has exiled himself to protect the ones he loves from his dark secret. In his absence, Helen, a runaway Traditionalist aristocrat, struggles to find her place among the Interconnected, unwilling to return to her cruel family. Reyleena, the former head of security in the Interconnected town of Reverside, has returned to a life of quiet solitude, broken occasionally by the impositions of The Other, an omnipresent AI, who will not leave her alone. Meanwhile, Barnabas, the Traditionalist leader of New Atlantic, fights to return to his township in the wake of an attack. Nora, his sister, remains in Reverside and must come to terms with her new life in captivity.

21 parts Complete Mature

War destroys an era, and war also creates a new world. I don't know since when, the night is no longer completely dark. In the aftermath of a cataclysmic nuclear war, humanity teeters on the brink of extinction. The once-thriving world has been reduced to a wasteland, where radiation runs rampant and genetic mutations have spawned a host of nightmarish new life forms. Society has crumbled, leaving survivors to navigate a harsh and violent landscape where every day is a struggle for survival. Amid this desolate chaos, a mysterious figure known only as Su emerges from the wilderness. With an enigmatic past and an uncertain future, Su embarks on a perilous journey through the ruins of civilization. His quest is driven by a quest for answers and a search for hope in a world where both seem to be in short supply. When desire is unshackled, the path forward becomes obscured; turning left leads to hell, and turning right leads to hell as well. The novel is centered around the struggle for survival, following the protagonist Su as he battles against various human factions such as the Dark Dragon Knights, the Bloodshed Council, and the Holy Radiant Crusaders. These conflicts push Su's abilities to continually awaken and evolve, ultimately escalating to a war against apostles and super-beasts.
