What is Dystopia?!

In the year 2026, dystopian fiction feels very familiar. With the technological advancements and surveillance state we are experiencing, it seems like a great time to take a look at what dystopian authors of the past were trying to tell us. In this series we'll be reading and analyzing works of dystopian fiction, breaking them down and comparing them to the world we live in. Equal parts book club and social commentary, I hope you'll join me in reading along. We'll be starting with Margaret Atwood's 2004 Novel "Oryx and Crake."
