Argumentation is a vehicle for advocating for social change.
Dystopias, despite being exaggerated, are imaginary worlds that provide commentary on the current trends, political systems, or popular culture of modern times.
Regardless of the genre in which they write (fiction or nonfiction), writers use rhetoric to make an argument.
