What Makes a Good YA Dystopian Novel?, April Spisak , single work criticism
Dystopias are characterized as a society that is a counter-utopia, a repressed, controlled, restricted system with multiple social controls put into place via government, military, or powerful authority figures. Issues of surveillance and invasive technologies are often key, as is a constant emphasis that this is not a place where you'd want to live. This article discusses this definition in relation to young adult fiction.
