My niece got me into #HungerGamesTrilogy books (she's a smart cookie) years ago. They're not just for #youngadults!
from 2012: #ClimateChange in The #HungerGames
How #dystopian young-adult fiction is tackling the social consequences of #GlobalWarming.

"For those who have remained immune to The Hunger Games’ hype (and that’s just silly—read the books already!), Suzanne Collins’ story revolves around a cruel yearly pageant held in the country of Panem: One boy and one girl from each of 12 “districts” scattered through what used to be the United States are sent to battle to the death in a reality TV competition. Twenty-three will die; one will survive to live a life of luxury. We’re told that the games were instituted by the leaders of the Capitol, which governs Panem, to keep the district residents docile: The forced sacrifice of their children reminds them that they are allowed to live only so that they may provide the Capitol with goods and entertainment, panem et circenses."
