Each of these stories gives its readers a taste of a dark future in which teens must struggle against government and environment in order to survive. Written by prominent YA speculative fiction authors and featuring an excellent bibliography of historical and contemporary dystopian novels, this enjoyable anthology is a helpful reader's advisory resource for novice "dys-lit" fans.
