Cover of Novel (It's a bit large to put in this thread...so I have it as a url. Just click.)
Title(s): From the New World, Shin Sekai yori, 新世界より
Author(s): Yūsuke Kishi
Publisher(s): Kodansha
Language(s): Japanese
Plot:
The story is set in Japan a millennium from now. Five children — Saki, Satoru, Maria, Mamoru, and Shun — have been born and raised in a tranquil town that can be described as a utopia, overflowing with water and green foliage. The world is ruled by people who have the "cursed power" or the "gods' power" of telekinesis.
After a certain incident, Saki and the others come to realize the true nature of their world. Before long, they learn everything, including the bloody history that brought humanity to this state. The five throw themselves into life-threatening adventure and fight to protect friends and a world on the brink of collapse.

Personal:
I believe it'd be a read worth translating...obviously, since I'm making this. It's a darker themed novel that I think would be a lot more detailed and interesting than the anime. Which already is already pretty interesting and dark. However, it's pretty long...so yeah.
