I just finished reading a James Patterson novel called The Fall of Crazy House that has an eerie similarity to the Hunger Games in terms of the districts (or cells in this case) rising up to defeat the "elite" who had enslaved them.
What is equally eerie about this book is that it talks about a plague that was intentionally released into the world, one that decimated millions in a bid by a body of elites to decrease the world's population. The survivors were then divided into cells, or communities, manufacturing, farming and so on, to service the entitlement of an elite who held them in absolute slavery.
This all took place in the former United States.
One might say that James Patterson is showing a rather prophetic nature in the writing of this book, a form of prescience that holds up a mirror to our own world.
Of course, in the end, the tyrants are defeated and placed in dungeons, as they should be.
As they will be, in the fullness of time.
