J.M. Berger has written several works about dystopian fiction as a genre, and its impact on history. They include:

• Let the Game Do Its Work: A history of dystopian spectacles and contests, from 1878's The New Ordeal, through The Hunger Games and beyond.

• The Turner Legacy: An exploration of the extensive racist dystopian genre that inspired the deadliest work of fiction in history, The Turner Diaries.

• World Gone Wrong: A blog discussing important, obscure and bizarre dystopian works and related subjects.

• J.M. Berger and Kelsey Atheron discussed dystopias -- real and imagined -- on The Loopcast recently.
