mightydin's "Dystopia Novels: A Reading List"

Add to my lists | Print this list

These are societies that, like "Brave New World," were intended to be Utopias, at least for some.

Note: With some exceptions, short story collections, young adult fiction and series have been eliminated if so identified. Also, I have striven to include high-quality books only.
