In starting the new Brad Meltzer (historical non fiction), I began to ponder if the dystopian theme was that fictional after all. I talk about how the following books have alarming similarities to present day: Dry (Neal & Jarrod Schusterman), The Four Winds (Kristin Hannah), The Handmaid's Tale (Margaret Atwood), Babel (RF Kuang), The Hunger Games, (Suzanne Collins), Fahrenheit 451 (Ray Bradbury), Our Missing Hearts (Celeste Ng), The Stand (Stephen King), Ready Player One (Ernest Cline), Angels & Demons (Dan Brown), Unwind (Neal Shusterman), and A Court Of Thorns and Roses (Sarah J Maas).
