do you know any good dystopian/fantasy books where the passage of time loses meaning for the characters and progress is impossible? like the world as we know it has ended but people are still there and they don't know what to do with themselves, ideally sort of dreamy and not dark thank u

“Dystopia” and “not dark” is a rare combination! You may have to write it yourself. You’ll find some elements in the following: the short story “The Gondoliers” in Karen Russell’s Orange World (O’Neill Library PS3618.U755 A6 2019) probably comes the closest. Others with some shared elements: The Dispossessed, by Ursula Le Guin (O’Neill Library, Course Reserves) and Everything for Everyone: An Oral History of the New York Commune, 2052-2072, by M. E. O’Brien and Eman Abdelhadi (O’Neill Library PS3615.B75 E94 2022)
