Contemporary Dystopian Fiction For Young Adults: Brave New Teenagers (Children's Literature And Culture)

With its capacity to frighten and warn, dystopian writing powerfully engages with our pressing global concerns: liberty and self-determination, environmental destruction and looming catastrophe, questions of identity and justice, and the increasingly fragile boundaries between technology and the self. This text enacts a lively debate about the goals and efficacy of dystopian fiction for young adults.
