Young Adult novels are my genre of choice right now, since most of the novels written for adults are stupid and smelly. Young Adult novels are really focused on worlds different from the one that we live in, yet worlds that could be ours someday. Case in point would be The Hunger Games Trilogy, which gives us a glimpse of what the future could be if we keep letting our leaders lie their way into more and more corrupt power.
Divergent is also about our society changing in order to rebuild after a breakdown, but this time we chose to change in a way that was supposed to keep in power those who would work to avoid history repeating itself. Choices were made that broke society into five factions. The Abnegation are those that chose to believe that selfishness is what destroyed society, so they choose to be selfless. They are in charge of governing the factions since they are thought to be incorruptable. Our main character, Tris, originates from Abnegation.
