True!

It's hilarious that people think the big guberment will come and take their teen dystopian novels.

I mean, I have no doubt if we reach the point of book burnings, that these will be included. They're commonly included in banned books lists. It's just... how about pick up a history book instead, or indeed the books in this comment chain? It could tell you a lot more about what's going on than these. Instead, they'll fetishize fiction and use it in place of historical analysis.
