As a part of intellectual preparation, consider exploring the following resources to build your own knowledge about dystopian fiction. These materials are relatively complex, as they are written for an adult audience, and may be confusing or inaccessible to students. If being used as supplements in the classroom, we recommend using an excerpt of the articles or providing them to students who may need more challenging materials.
