      Probably, yeah. There are a ton of different YA authors out there. Off the top of my head, the book Feed by M.T. Anderson is a great depiction of a techno-capitalist dystopia. In the book,

      a girl with an aftermarket brain chip is denied healthcare because her consumer spending patterns make her an unprofitable target for advertisers.

      I’ve seen YA authors get derided a few times on this site (once, it was aimed at male YA authors in particular), and it comes across as reactionary to me. I just don’t understand.

        Fair enough, it’s just every well known YA author I can think of off the top of my head has shit politics. Also most examples of YA I know of have shit politics story wise too. Also I’ve found the whole existence of the genre kinda weird, what specifically about them makes them for “young adults”? People in that age range are generally mature enough they could just be reading regular literature, outside of them having younger protagonists (which there is plenty of non-YA literature with younger protags) idk what is specifically is “YA” about them besides maybe having a bit easier to digest prose?
