Dystopia

I have a fascination with Dystopian Society.  Dystopia is a society in a controlled, repressive state often disguised and promoted as being Utopian.  I suppose my fascination comes, in fact, because there is often truth in fiction.  I can see bits and pieces of our current society intermingled with these fantasy worlds.  While being entertained, it also scares me.  

Some books I have read and enjoyed in this genre are:

 The Hunger Games Series by Suzanne Collins
 (Hunger Games, Catching Fire & Mocking Jay)



The Matched Series by Ally Condie
(Matched, Crossed and Reached *releasing this fall*)



My latest obsession is the Divergent Series by Veronica Roth
(Divergent, Insurgent, and a yet to be named and released third book *releasing fall 2013*)



I have been told that I should read the Giver.  
Any other Dystopian suggestions for me?

  1. I love The Giver! You should definitely read it. I read the Hunger Games series and was disturbed but fascinated at the same time. I'm always looking for new reads, so I may try the other ones you suggested.
