Top 3 dystopias

Autumn is a time of dystopias for me. During this period, I especially want to reflect and read things that can open up to me a completely different universe with references to our world or our future. The list of good dystopias is too long, so here I present a top 3 selection of dystopias for beginners to get acquainted with this genre. 

I.  451° Fahrenheit 

451° Fahrenheit is the temperature at which the paper ignites and burns. Bradbury's philosophical dystopia paints a bleak picture of the development of post-industrial society: this is the world of the future, in which all written publications are ruthlessly destroyed by a special squad of firefighters, and the storage of books is prosecuted by law. 

It was the first dystopia I read. I read it because it was included in the school curriculum for additional reading. I think this is a great start for those who are interested in dystopias. With this book, my fascination with dystopias began and I started looking for something similar to read. 

II. 1984

The novel describes a world divided between three totalitarian states. The book is about total control, the destruction of everything human and about trying to survive in a world of hatred. The novel was repeatedly censored by socialist countries. It was banned in the USSR.

this book amazed a lot of my friends, for many this was the first dystopia, for me it was already the third. One of my friends at the beginning said that this book is overrated, but the more he read, the more similarities he saw between the world of 1984 and our real world. That's right, you begin to see the world from a different angle and understand the influence of the state on our perception and thinking. 

III. The Martian Chronicles

Another book by Ray Bradbury, which I stumbled upon purely by accident. They don't talk much about it, but it's definitely worth reading. An excellent fantasy novel with exciting stories flowing smoothly one after another, but not related to each other, with intricate exciting illustrations. It is relevant for all times, although it was written in 1950. It is easy to read and does not get bored, makes you think and allows the reader to imagine how to finish the plot. This is a dystopia: the earth was destroyed by human hands, probably this will happen to Mars. I definately recommend reading it.
