The Tripods was a dystopian Sci-Fi series written in 1967 which served as a template for many of the YA novels out today. Picked up by the BBC in the 1980s, a TV series was released and then brought to the states on PBS on Saturday Afternoons. (And now some of you are about to watch it on YouTube.) These books served as many a template for today's Young Adult Novel craze... bringing in a post apocalyptic Utopian society held together by a benevolent(?) set of overlords, reminiscent of the Divergent Series, the Maze Runner, The Hunger Games, and the 5th Wave.
