International Stop!
Who loves those Dystopian novels? I know I do!
For those of you unaware of what dystopian is here you go: "A dystopia is a community or society, usually fictional, that is
in some important way undesirable or frightening. It is the opposite of a
utopia. Such societies appear in many works of fiction, particularly in stories set in a speculative future. Dystopias are often characterized by dehumanization,totalitarian governments, environmental disaster,
or other characteristics associated with a cataclysmic decline in
society. Elements of dystopias may vary from environmental to political
and social issues. Dystopian societies have culminated in a broad series
of sub-genres of fiction and are often used to raise awareness of
real-world issues regarding society, environment, politics, economics,
religion, psychology, spirituality, or technology that, if left
unaddressed, could potentially lead to a dystopia-like condition in the
future. For this reason, dystopias have taken the form of a multitude of
speculations, such as pollution, poverty, societal collapse, political repression, or totalitarianism."
for my, dystopian gives me a bit of hope that, while my world may not be a great place, it could be a lot worse. Although some dystopian novels I can see as a realistic future (scary...) not too far off.
For this giveaway stop I have a sci fi/dystopian novel:
They took everything: her family, her home, her childhood.
By the age of nineteen, Raven has spent most of her life in the sprawling slums of America, fighting as a rebel against the dictatorship. When the rebellion steals an experimental time-travel device, she travels back five decades to the year 2013. Her plan: assassinate the future dictator when he is still young and vulnerable, long before he comes to power. She must move fast to reshape history, because agents from her own time are on her trail, ready to execute her on sight.
