In my opinion, this period of American literature is more innovative and rebellious. They're more focused on dystopian, and the writing style is less flowy, and more focused. Personally, I'm noticing a lot more acknowledgement of problems in society within books, seemingly because the internet has become a daily convenience and there's no more use banning books if it's message is probably going to get published somewhere else anyways.
