Suneetha Balakrishnan introduces you to five well-known Indian dystopian books in the most recent episode of "Bookstop." A dystopian society is a terrifying and degrading imaginary community. An idealized state or location where everything is as horrible as it can get.

Numerous books explore the idea of a dystopian society. The five books we learn about in this episode are Animal's People, Half of What I Say, The Black Dwarves of the Good Little Bay, Leila, and Escape.
