Final say on
the Dystopian Novel “Insurgent’’.
In my
opinion, The novel is a great addition to the trilogy but still falls short of
delivering the rich content that the block-buster ‘’Divergent’’ of the series
has done. I really liked this story and I will likely read it again.
Literature
has been a defining part of culture since the beginning of language. The
dangers of modern times have led to the writing of dystopian novels, novels which warn of an unhappy future. Many
people think of Dystopian novels as purely science fiction-while science
fiction is a natural fit for a dystopian story, not all dystopian books are
considered science fiction. Without further delay, here are the 12 best dystopian novels.
#12 Lord of
the Flies by William Golding (1954)
This novel
isn't the 12th best on the list (it would be rated much higher in my opinion)
but it's at number twelve because of the on going argument whether this is
truly a dystopian novel or not. The definition of dystopia isn't necessarily
clear, though the general definition is that it is a society in which misery
and negative conditions prevail (or a seeming utopia gained at horrifying
costs.)
As far as a
dysfunctional society, the island with its stranded little boys is it, and once
the conch shell is no longer seen as authority, everything breaks apart. If
anyone wants to argue that an anarchy could work, this book would be an
immediate argument against it. This is an incredible psychological work, and
I'd say their society is definitely dysfunctional enough to count as a
dystopia. Dystopian Novels
#11 The
Handmaid's Tale by Margaret Atwood (1985)
This story
comes from the first person Offred. Offred is a maid in a time when fertile
women are forced to be breeding machines to keep the human population going.
This takes place because the world is a post-nuclear world where many women
can't have children. This is a very theocratic society, and this book tends to
be very pro-feminist and anti-religious, which causes it to often be protested.
This is a great dystopian tale that is frightening because the logic of how the
society became the way it is happens to be very believable. Dystopian Novels
#10
Neuromancer by William Gibson (1984)
Most of
William Gibson's novels revolve around a dystopian future society, but
Neuromancer may be the best of them all. This novel won the sci-fi "triple
crown" for writers by winning the Nebula, Hugo, and Philip K. Dick awards.
In the seedy underground of a Japanese city, a computer hacker is hired to work
on the ultimate hack. In a world flushed with AI, virtual reality, genetic
engineering, and corporations overpowering nations, the adventure follows.
Gibson beat many modern sci-fi writers to the punch, and this dystopian novel
is one of the most influential in modern times.
