#DystopiaFictionCycle :Entry9: #ParableOfTheTalents (1998): #Author : #OctaviaButler :
This is #Butler 's 2nd #novel is this #dystopia #story & centers around Lauren who has founded #Earthseed , a new religion. Takes place in the year 2032 & won the #NebulaAward for best novel.

New Series: #Dystopia FictionCycle : #Introduction :
#Dystopia #fiction (living under a mechanized dictatorship) has been 1 of my favorite genres in #film OR #literature since I read 1984 in school. On Twitter I have seen a load of readers/ #writers who share that love:

#DystopiaFictionCycle :Entry10: #Insurgent (2012):
#Author : #VeronicaRoth :
This is the 2nd #novel in #Roth 's dystopian trilogy. Roth wrote this series in college & all at the same time so this book comes immediately after the 1st. Highly acclaimed film adaptations have been made.

#DystopiaFictionCycle :Entry6: #Divergent (2011):
#Author : #VeronicaRoth :
This is a more recent #dystopia #novel , the 1st in a #trilogy . Like other examples of the genre, it takes place at some point in the future in a post-apocalyptic society. All 3 entries have film adapations.

#DystopiaFictionCycle :Entry4:1984 (1949):
#Author : #GeorgeOrwell .
Is there doubt whether this is the most famous & beloved #dystopia #novel ever written? I don't think so. #Orwell is also 1 of the most beloved writers. This book is terrifying given it's so very close to the truth.

#DystopiaFictionCycle :Entry5: #Fahrenheit451 (1953):
#Author : #RayBradbury :
This #dystopia story is many people's favorite. The title is the temperature at which paper burns & a lot books are burned within. Even readers that are not fans of #Bradbury tend to be fans of this book.

#DystopiaFictionCycle : #TheMachineStops (1909):
Author: #EMForster (1879-1970):
A very early #dystopian novella in which humanity now lives in the Earth & relies on machines for their continued survival (Matrix?). Forster himself is seen by many as a pioneer of the genre.

#DystopiaFictionCycle : #Allegiant (2013):
#Author : #VeronicaRoth :
This is the 3rd & final #novel & in the #DivergentTrilogy , though #Roth published a 4th volume of short stories told. While the 1st 2 books were told by Beatrice, this one is told by her AND Tobias. It's excellent.

#DystopiaFictionCycle : #Four (2014):
#Author : #VeronicaRoth :
While #Allegiant was the final chapter in the #DivergentTrilogy , #Roth published this 4th book, an #anthology of 4 tales that take place in her dystopian universe. The title is a play on both of those facts.

#DystopiaFiction Cycle :Entry8:
#ParableOfTheSower (1993): #Author : #OctaviaButler :
Perhaps the most famous & brilliant #novel by a literary genius & an amazing contribution to #DystopiaFiction . #Butler 's vision is placed in the near future,the 1st of #trilogy , the 3rd never written.

#DystopiaFictionCycle :Entry7: #TheGiver (1993):
#Author : #LoisLowry (1937-?):
This is 1 of the most beloved #dystopian #novels & like 1984, it's often introduced in a school setting. The story begins as if the society is #Utopian , but the reader soon learns the uncomfortable truth.

#DystopiaFictionCycle :Entry2:
#BraveNewWorld (1932): #Author : #AldousHuxley :
Perhaps the 2nd most famous #dystopia #novel next to #Orwell 's 1984, which it predated by 17 years. Easily #Huxley 's most famous work.A mechanized society given #Soma so citizens have happiness in slavery.

Stephen King #DystopiaFictionCycle : #TheRepairerOfReputations (1885): #Author : #RWChambers (1842-1942):
This is the 1st story in #Chambers ' famous & pivotal #TheKingInYellow #horror cycle & is also an early (if not the earliest) #dystopia story. It's a world of euthanasia & spreading madness.

Stephen King #DystopiaFictionCycle : #ItCantHappenHere (1935):
#Author : #SinclairLewis (1885-1951):
Here's another #dystopian #novel that preceded #GeorgeOrwell 's 1984. It's considered a satire, but it is quite realistic & iconic. It was also adapted for the stage by the author & #JohnCMoffitt .

Stephen King #DystopiaFictionCycle : #ISequelToAynRandsAnthem (2017): #Author : #RScottJohns :
#Rand 's famous #dystopian #novel was published back in 1937 & is one of the greatest of the genre. 80 years later, #Johns has written an amazing sequel that captures the essence of the original story.

Stephen King #DystopiaFictionCycle : #HarrisonBergeron (1961):
Author: #KurtVonnegut (1922-2007):
The best #dystopian story ever, EVER. 2081. Equality has arrived. Too strong? You get weighted down. Eyes too keen? Glasses to obstruct them. Too intelligent? An implant which erases your thoughts.
