Imagine this: something has gone terribly wrong with the world. The old way of life has collapsed, leaving humankind to salvage what they can from the destruction. Maybe war has decimated the planet, forcing different factions to fight for survival. Humanity is overcome, defeated, too exhausted to defend itself any longer. Only a scrappy band of young rebels continues to fight. They may be young, and their numbers may be small, but they are determined to beat the odds, expose the lies perpetuated by the new world order, and make a better life for everyone.
If any of that sounds familiar, you might be living in a dystopian audiobook series. Dystopian listens place a heavy emphasis on their bleak, startlingly different environments, so becoming immersed in the author's world is critical to fully appreciating the work. Audio is the perfect format for this—a great narrator can bring both the characters and their surroundings fully to life. So, if you love diving headlong into dystopian worlds, this list will give you a solid starting point.
