Abstract
Abstract. The research article is of significant relevance, as it explores the multifaceted influence of young adult dystopian narratives on the youth. In an era marked by intricate societal dynamics, the themes presented in these narratives, including ethical dilemmas, environmental concerns, technological influences, and social inequality, resonate with contemporary issues. The primary focus on resistance and rebellion within these narratives adds a crucial layer to understanding the struggles between the oppressed and oppressors, contributing to broader discussions on societal transformation. This research article aims to address a noteworthy gap in the existing literature in our country by investigating the transformative impact of young adult dystopian narratives, specifically honing in on resilience and activism. The relevance of this research is underscored by its intent to identify unresolved aspects within this broader context, aspiring to contribute valuable insights into how these narratives shape the concerns and actions of young generations in today’s socio-political landscape.
