For me the marker of a good dystopian novel
has always been that the future it presents was imaginable
the best dystopian authors in my opinion
take things that exist in our current reality either in much
smaller locations or on much smaller scales
and exaggerate and expand on and speculate the way in which
these grow and spread throughout the world and take on
a new and domineering shape, perhaps it's even fair to say that
a good dystopian is more than just an engaging read, it's actually a warning
that highlights some of the things that are going on around us in the world
and makes us think about the ways in which we can prevent them from progressing
