The Hunger Games is a series about a futuristic dystopia in which a dozen impoverished city-states are enslaved by a totalitarian government whose sole purpose is perpetuating their own lavish and superficial lifestyles.
The Capitol maintains control over the twelve districts by holding a yearly televised event called The Hunger Games, in which two tributes (children between the ages of 12 and 18) from each district must battle to the death. This barbaric contest serves as entertainment for the citizens of the Capitol as well as a grisly reminder of the terrifying power the central government has over the twelve districts.
The story is essentially an allegory for the way America relies on cheap labor from countries like China and India, and how we glorify violence in our games, movies, and television while turning a blind eye to the very real warfare and famine that is often a direct result of our own greed.
