Divergent

The closest structural comparison — female protagonist, first-person present-tense YA dystopia, survival stakes, institutional violence. Katniss fights class; Tris fights categorization.

The original YA dystopia of sorting and suppression — Jonas's assigned role parallels the faction system's assigned virtue. Both novels ask what a society loses when it eliminates choice.

Training, ranking, and the manipulation of children by institutions that need them — the Battle School and Dauntless initiation share a structural logic.

Another YA dystopia built around enforced conformity — the Pretty operation parallels the faction serum. Both novels ask what you lose when your society decides what your body and mind must become.

The adult version of Divergent's central argument — a society that requires thought conformity, uses technology to enforce it, and treats the uncontrollable mind as a political threat.

The five factions echo Huxley's caste system (Alpha through Epsilon) — social sorting by predetermined category. Both ask whether stability is worth the cost of human complexity.
