The most popular dystopian fiction books of 2025

Dystopian fiction shows societies that have gone badly wrong. Governments watch everything, freedoms are rationed, and one person starts to question the rules. These books are warnings as much as stories, and many of the best known are set uncomfortably close to our own world. You will find classics and young adult favorites here. This list shows the ones first published in 2025.
