At that time, many literary critics, journalists, and educators grouped dystopian literature together with science fiction, leading to possible misunderstandings of the unique history, aspects, and functions of science fiction and dystopian genres. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Though texts within these two genres may share similar settings, plot devices, and characters, each genre's value is different because they do distinctively different sociocritical work in relation to the culture that produces them. In \u003ci\u003eThe Order and the Other: Young Adult Dystopian Literature and Science Fiction\u003c\/i\u003e, author Joseph W. Campbell distinguishes the two genres, explains the function of each, and outlines the different impact each has upon readers. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Campbell analyzes such works as Lois Lowry's \u003ci\u003eThe Giver \u003c\/i\u003eand James Dashner's \u003ci\u003eThe Maze Runner\u003c\/i\u003e, placing dystopian works into the larger context of literary history. He asserts both dystopian literature and science fiction differently empower and manipulate readers, encouraging them to look critically at the way they are taught to encounter those who are different from them and how to recognize and work within or against the power structures around them. In doing so, Campbell demonstrates the necessity of both genres.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Joseph W.
