> Today's genre books are full of future dystopias, which only have one weakness: teenagers. And everybody knows that most dystopias are kind of contrived. But here are 10 lessons from real-life rebellions against repressive regimes, that we wish the creators of fictional dystopias would pay attention to.
Let's see... The Hunger Games, Divergent... I don't read enough books if I can't name any more than those two. D: [edit 09-16 17:28] Oh yeah, Animorphs! Today's genre books are full of future dystopias, which only have one weakness: teenagers.
I wouldn't call Animorphs a dystopia though (although I guess I haven't read past book 30, maybe it changed?)
After thinking about it for a bit, I think you might be right. The only argument I can think of as to why it's not a dystopia is that the series is about a war. The Yeerks were winning, but they didn't have absolute control yet. Society is in a state of flux instead of mostly stable. I'm not sure if you need a stable society to call it a dystopia, though.
