Nobody dies of old age or disease or accidents anymore. Humanity has achieved a state of immortality and perfection, aside from one aspect. Therefore, Scythe is worth its mass in gold. In books such as those we learn far better about the human condition than a space opera, for example, and I find great value in that. Why? I find it the most insightful within the science fiction sub genre.

If I would pick up a science fiction book, it would more likely be a dystopian. The Hunger Games never appealed to me, I found the first book in the Divergent series solid but not captivating and I grew up with a dad who had an unhealthy Star Wars obsession. Dystopia, science fiction in general, has never been a great point of interest for me.
