Rebellions, futuristic settings, and escaping reality are just three reasons why these stories continue to rise in popularity with readers.

A dystopia is a futuristic, imagined universe in which oppressive societal control and the illusion of a perfect society are maintained through corporate, bureaucratic, technological, moral, or totalitarian control. Would you really want to live in this type of world?
