المستخلص

Young adult dystopian fiction is a popular genre for young adult readers as it portrays tragic societies that are often related to technology. The paper discussed the effects of science and technology on the interactions between adults and young adults. The three fictional societies in the selected dystopias are authoritarian representing the power that adults hold over the lives of young adults. By extension, the young protagonists are frustrated with the negative circumstances of their societies. Dystopian young adult fiction empowers young a
dults by adopting their point of view and depicting their dissatisfaction with the current conditions of their fictional society. Although the protagonists of young adult literature are always young, they occupy a middle position between childhood and adulthood that enables them to correct the mistakes made by former generations. Despite the power adults hold over young adults, the young adult protagonists are able to attain a certain degree of power through their technological and gaming skills to change their societies for the better. The struggles and empowerment of the young adult protagonists are examined through Michel Foucault's rendition of power and David M. Rosen's analysis of the figure of the child soldier.
