Great read about the fall of civilization due to a massive flu outbreak.
I know OP wasn't looking for dystopias, but if you like Parable of the Sower, I recently read two excellent new scifi/dystopia books: Station Eleven by Emily St. John Mandel, and American War by Omar El Akkad.
Hard to pick a favourite so I’ll recommend the latest, which I thought was fabulous: Station Eleven by Emily St. John Mandel.
