My daughter has some course work for A level English. She needs to pick a work of Dystopian Fiction to compare in some way with Margaret Attwood's Handmaid's Tale.

So recommendations sought of an interesting work of  Dystopian Fiction and some interesting potential points of comparison.

Please.

There's an interesting article and comments on SF and dystopias by Jo Walton on tor.com here, which mentions several. Including the Hunger Games, which might make an interesting comparison with the Atwood.

It's at times like this that I wish I'd read The Handmaid's Tale.

If it isn't too late, Kazuo Ishiguro, Never Let Me Go.
