Nuanced performance from a normally criminally underused Clive Owen.
A provocative view of earths dystopian near future as a virus causes infertility and mankind is doomed to die a prolonged death.
Great visuals and stand out performances from Owen and Moore with a great Cameo from Michael Caine, a must watch.

Disturbingly relevant even to contemporary events
Philip Roth's vivid dystopian novel depicts America under a fascist government through the eyes of a 9-year-old boy in the peak of World War One. It's dark and compelling, showing how creeping discrimination can ultimately make way for potential genocide. Absolutely grim yet gripping.

Shocking, terrifying look at state sponsored slavery of women in the future
Having read this at a girl's school, The Handmaid's Tale is a truly frightening dystopian novel highlighting the state's control over women's bodies. The most worrying aspect of the novel is that parts of it rings true around the world today.
Chelsea (449 KP) rated 1984 Nineteen Eighty-Four in Books

Classic, amazing, dystopian future story. This book still has a major impact on the world today. It gives you so much to think about. Think. Appreciate that you are allowed to think. I would have rated it higher, but I didn't like the ending. Those who have read it will know why.
Chris Hooker (419 KP) rated Compass Rose in Books
Dec 29, 2018
This was the perfect mix of genres. The dystopian world that Burke creates was fantastic in a steampunk way. The fact that the characters are pirates adds yet another element. Both main characters, Rose and Miranda, are complex and the romantic tension between them is another element to this already complex plot.
