Dystopian literature

"There's always a million things you can't eat but few things you can. Pointing out that someone is going to eat something toxic is uncreative, trite, and doesn't give any insight whatsoever."There is an important role for fiction that speaks to the popular consciousness saying, "Hey, careful with that."It is ironic that the AI-dominated, controlling country of Australia prescribes Lois Lowry's "The Giver" for children in schools:
"The Giver is a 1993 American young adult dystopian novel written by Lois Lowry, set in a society which at first appears to be utopian but is revealed to be dystopian as the story progresses. In the novel, the society has taken away pain and strife by converting to "Sameness", a plan that has also eradicated emotional depth from their lives. In an effort to preserve order, the society also lacks any color, climate, terrain, and a true sense of equality. The protagonist of the story, a 12-year-old boy named Jonas, is selected to inherit the position of Receiver of Memory, the person who stores all the past memories of the time before Sameness. Jonas struggles with concepts of the new emotions and things introduced to him, and whether they are inherently good, evil, or in between, and whether it is possible to have one without the other."
