Dystopian Fiction

Are you a fan of:

• The Hunger Games
• The Compound
• The Knife of Never Letting Go
• The Giver
• Divergent
• Matched
• Brave New World
• 1984
• Fahrenheit 451
• The Handmaid's Tale

These are all dystopias. A dystopia is the opposite of a utopia. In a dystopian society, everything is controlled and repressive in an effort to keep its' people safe. Sadly, as a result of this control, the people have often lost things like the ability to make decisions, the ability to love and even colour.
What I love best about dystopias are the strong characters they tend to have. Those characters work to unravel the power that the governing bodies have over them and take control of their lives back.
We've mentioned many dystopias in this blog, but if you'd like to read more, try following the Dystopian Divas blog.
