Dystopias have long been a part of science fiction, dating back to Huxley, Orwell, and other classic authors. In the 1980s, Young Adult authors like H.M. Hoover and William Sleator explored dystopic futures. Today, with the recent explosion of Young Adult science fiction and fantasy, dystopia is all over, from Scott Westerfields "Uglies" to Suzanne Collins's "Hunger Games." This panel will explore the use and meaning of dystopia and its special role in Young Adult fiction
