The Giver and 1984
Throughout the history of time, we have to fear a dictatorship or authoritarian system, we watch in complicated the possibly of dictatorships. Systems of government where they government control all, most of them set in a post-apocalypse future, after a world war, most of the time the society of the now has been destroyed, if not all of the time, with only pieces of the truth of our history perverted by the government. Dystopian is a popular genre throughout our culture right now it plans on our fears and makes us fear our future.

The community unlike 1984, pushes peace and sameness, not war and sameness and fear.
