I cannot help but notice people only started to mock dystopian novels when women and girls started to write and be featured in them.
People started mocking dystopians when they became formulaic and commercialized, ironically undermining the messages that dystopians had when they were written in an era in which fascism was a very real threat and reality for much of the world.
But if it helps you feel better, Veronica Roth and Suzanne Collins have higher net worths than George Orwell ever had when he was alive.
Surely fascism still is a very real threat and reality for much of the world?
