Reddit reviews Brave New Worlds (Dystopian Stories)

This is an awesome short story collection: https://www.amazon.com/Brave-New-Worlds-Dystopian-Stories/dp/1597804541

This genre can be pretty varied depending on what your interested in.

If you want to explore all it has to offer, check out “Brave New Worlds”. Brave New Worlds It’s an anthology of short stories that spans the gamut from dystopian historical fiction to fantasy and hard sci fi.

If you’re looking for a realistic near future dystopian novel, check out the Maddam trilogy by Margaret Atwood. The first book in the trilogy, Oryx and Crake, was one of only a handful of novels that I’ve ever read cover to cover in just one sitting.

If you’re interested in YA dystopian fiction, the Uglies “trilogy” by Scott Westerfield is pretty good. For dystopian post-apocalyptic YA, I’d recommend The 100 series by Kass Morgan.

There’s a ton out there in this genre and it keeps growing. Let us know what you find.

This collection of short stories is worth reading. Pretty much every world presented would make a good episode of Black Mirror.

Some collections I read recently:

Wasteland

Brave New Worlds

Robot Uprisings

I also read a few other stories that really stood out. Second Variety by P.K. Dick, The Machine Stops by E.M. Forster. It isn't quite a short story, but The Years of Rice and Salt by Kim Stanley Robinson was also great and could be read as a collection of stories connected to each other.

There's a story called Red Card in the anthology Brave New Worlds with a very similar premise! Not everyone is allowed a murder, just people with a special card. Could this have been what you were thinking of?
