YA Dystopian Fiction and the Defanging of Dark Themes - David Somerfleck | Science Fiction Author
The Hunger Games is built on the premise of children murdering children on live television. The Giver depicts infanticide as routine civic procedure. Divergent packages totalitarian body-sorting as a personality quiz. YA dystopia is wildly popular and systematically defanged — and the gap between its premises and its execution tells us something important about how we talk to young readers about the darkness they already live inside.
