What are some good, modern, dystopian novels?

Why? That genre has been done to death and ran in to the ground. Read something else.

I didn't really started to get into it till recently. Read 1984, brave new world and now I, robot. And it gets really annoying to read the wrong views about the future. I thought maybe there is some modern novel out there that I would actually fully enjoy.
Hunger Games

It's alright, though MC is an insufferable cunt Mary Sue. It's YA, just don't go expecting a good plot or good writing, it's just mindless entertainment
Feed by M. T. Anderson

Its pop literature. It makes teenagers feel smart for reading books.

>future views of BNW, 1984
>wrong
You are, right now, on the front page of the great interactive idiot box. It is able to provide selfish, infinitely renewable, quickly gratifying escapism while constantly spying on you.
>fuck you anon if BNW is true then where's my soma and orgies
Yeah where's all the epsilon midgets bagging my groceries? Obviously, BNW and 1984 are greatly exaggerated just to get the point across.
The message is supposed to spread far and wide, so the works are intentionally easy to read. As such, any criticism to the effect of "it's bad because it's too easy and popular so it's bad :(" is just babby's first contrarian opinion. If you crave something that's more aesthetically pleasing as well as more obscure then go ahead and read Zamyatin's We.

It is a good, fun read if you want to pass time. It only gets hyped up because of the movie.
I'm surprised /lit/ hasn't taken to this book yet. Written while the author was dying of cancer, it supposes a liberal healthcare-based dystopia where "lifeism" is the dominant ideology - where no one gets sick, no one is ever exposed to anything nasty or upsetting, and no one is ever unkind; and none of this is because of the secret police or the magic mind control drugs or anything cheesy like that, which I liked. The novel follows the exploits of three schoolgirls who try to kill themselves as an act of protest against "lifeism". Think No Longer Human but with utopia.

We is good. read We you guys.

Why would someone write about a dystopia when we already live in one?
