world. The amount of dystopian novels published has increased dramatically since George Orwell’s 1984 hit the shelves. Two other famous dystopian novels are Lois Lowry’s The Giver and Suzanne Collins’ The Hunger Games. The Giver was written in 1993 by Lois Lowry and The Hunger Games was written in 2008 by Suzanne Collins. The reason dystopian novels are becoming so popular is because of the appeal to teenagers.
