In recent years, dystopian literature has become popular with our younger generation, the adult youth and our younger people. Dystopia has been around for a while, since the early 1920s and 30s after the first world war that was the “war to end all wars”. Dystopian Literature is the opposite of Utopia, the worst imaginable society, compared to Utopia where its the perfect society. One of the most popular movies or novels in this genre is The Hunger games and The Maze Runner. The Maze runner takes place in a society where they are trapped and have to go through a maze to find and escape route with walls moving around.

The reasoning that I believe that the younger generation likes dystopian novels and movies is because they find it interesting and exciting that makes it seem like it can become a reality but its all fictional. Another reasoning to this is that it helps them feel better about our current society and understand the ideas of the genre. In my opinion, when I’m watching or reading dystopian literature, I find that I like to imagine myself with the main characters in the story. This is why I think that dystopian literature has become so popular in recent years.
