If you haven’t guessed from this little flash-dash-micro fiction that Phoenix is very proud of, today we’re talking Dystopian literature, film, and so on.

James leads Matan and Phoenix through all the emotionally charged twists and turns of this heavy genre. 

• Why do people enjoy Dystopian literature?
• Why should people write in this genre?
• What makes this genre what it is?

They’ll talk about all this and more on this episode of Prose & Cons.
