Ben Oliver (I)

Ben Oliver is the author of The Loop, a young-adult dystopian science fiction series that began with the 2020 novel of the same name and continued through The Block, The Arc, and The Kill Factor. The books follow a teenager sentenced to an experimental prison facility in a near-future surveillance state, blending fast-paced thriller plotting with questions about crime, punishment, and technology. The series has built a following among readers of dark, high-concept young-adult science fiction and has drawn comparisons to other prison-set dystopian franchises. Detailed public biographical information about Oliver is limited; his bibliography to date centers on this single continuing series, released over several years and expanded with sequels responding to reader demand for further installments in the Loop's dystopian world.
