YA Dystopias, The Novels: Part 2, The 21st Century
I'm reposting my work-in-progress list of young adult dystopian novels. Due to its length, I'm dividing the list into two separate posts, one for the 20th century and one for the 21st century.
If you have any recommendations or suggestions for me, I'd be most grateful! Thanks so much. (Note: If you follow/bookmark this link, you'll always be directed to the most recent iteration of this list.)
Note: I am intentionally casting a wide net by defining "dystopian" works as those that imply a warning by describing a world gone wrong: utopias that took a bad turn, worst-case scenario post-apocalyptic societies, post-disaster tales that focus more on the undesirable communities that develop after the disasters than on the disasters themselves, etc.
Or, to put it another way (quoting The American Heritage® Dictionary of the English Language, Fourth Edition), "dys·to·pi·a (dĭs-tō'pē-ə): 1.An imaginary place or state in which the condition of life is extremely bad, as from deprivation, oppression, or terror."
I am defining YA as books specifically written and marketed for young adult readers.
I welcome any and all suggestions for additions to this list.
