Dystopian Fiction
 
What is dystopian fiction? This genre of speculative fiction explores a world or society that is opposite to a utopia. These novels are usually set in the near-future and often explore themes like mass poverty, oppression, extreme social or economic class divides, etc. There may be an oppressive ruling government or perhaps, the use of advance technology to control the people. It may be set following some sort of disaster, in a world that is largely inhabitable, with characters who have to fend for themselves, etc.
