          The Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins is one of the best, if not the best dystopian novel to date. Not only has the book achieved a massive following either from the countless sequels or spinoffs, but by the major motion picture as well. Hunger Games has no doubt earned its popularity, but in the off chance that you haven't heard of it, I suggest you to read it.        After what seems to be a third world war that destroys all the nations, one rises up from the ashes and unifies it all, calling it the Capitol.
