Anchor & Sophia series.
The Descendancy, a new cult-like civilization banning all technology, was founded off the ruins of mankind's old corrupt one. Brothers Clive and Clover are true believers thanks to their Descendant minister father. But when they come across a technology-embracing community in their travels, it ignites a civil war. Tremendous world-building and spare language stand out in this accomplished dystopian series-opener.
