I always found the (mainly American) YA dystopias of the 2000s so unbelievably tame in comparison to the Australian equivalents with which I grew up (none of which came close to Butler). If nothing else, the latter do not tend to end with people overthrowing whatever flimsily constructed dictatorship that oppresses them: at best, the characters have to learn to accommodate and live within the dystopian setting.
