I think there is an accessibility factor that you hit on. Setting a novel in the not-too-distant future in which our world has gone to hell feels like it could be a tangible reality, as opposed to say galaxy-spanning space operas, and I think these novels can function as gateways to other types of genre fiction because of the accessibility of the setting as well as the narrative that lines up with what teens are experiencing.
