Find your next dystopian read

Dystopian fiction is particularly addictive. Since before Aldous Huxley's Brave New World hit shelves in the 1930's, authors have been imagining bleak futures for the world. Their apocalyptic visions incite feelings of relief that thing could be worse — while also getting under our skin with portrayals of the future feel uncomfortably close to home. Some of the most favorite novels of the 21st century have been dystopian titles, including The Handmaid's Tale, Nineteen Eighty-Four — and not to mention the success of dystopian fiction in the world of YA, with bestsellers like The Hunger Games and Divergent becoming staple teen reads.

If you're into this wildly dark and imaginative genre, you're in luck!
