One appeal of Science Fiction is the portrayal of alternate worlds or realities different than our own. The Hunger Games is set in a dystopian world and fits into that alternate realities heading.  KDL has created an Alternate Realities booklist.  The list contains a variety of books for adults from dystopian to steampunk.  One of my personal favorites from the list is Ready Player One by Ernest Cline.  Cline has created a believable world of the future where the virtual reality environment is more real to the characters than what is happening around them.  The book is also full of 80s references and lots of action!
