Lots of people go through a dystopian fiction streak. Mine
was in junior high/early high school. (And, to be honest, continues to this
day.) We’ve got classics like 1984, Brave New
World, and The Handmaid’s Tale. Whole new
generations are getting in on the act with things like The Hunger Games and Divergent books, among many others. One
of the greatest of this ilk, and one of my favorites, is Ray Bradbury’s
Fahrenheit 451. Francois Truffaut brought it to the screen
in 1966, but now HBO has an impending adaptation with a fresh new trailer.
