One theme I recently encountered—and would love to hear your thoughts on—is the Modern implications of the Second Amendment.in American fiction. I was reading Colson Whitehead's The Underground Railroad, and while it's set in a historical context, it got me thinking about how the legacy of armed resistance and self-defense manifests in modern dystopian works like Suzanne Collins’ The Hunger Games or even speculative fiction like Octavia Butler’s Parable of the Sower.
