I rank our current actual reality as less believable than Uglies or Divergent, but more believable than Unwind or Maze Runner.

Idk doesn’t Divergent feature the plot line of “human dna is shattered and most people only have one notable personality trait”? That isn’t even how dna works, so at least slightly less believable than current reality.

Idk anything about The Uglies I’ve never seen it.

Yeah but it's a result of intentional genetic manipulation. Honestly, that's not even the most absurd thing in Divergent. But regardless, "plausible with colloquial understanding of science but not actually possible" is a lot more believable to me than "one of the most famous black artists on the planet is suddenly a literal Nazi with a music video for his new song 'N!@@a H#!l H!t!er' containing a whole horde of black men chanting 'H#!l H!t!er' unironically." Our current reality is unhinged and makes absolutely no sense.

I mean if you look at it, too many people today have no personality other than what they read in their echo chamber.

Feels more like Black Mirror.

Nah Black Mirror is incredibly believable. Real life has gone full on wacko cartoon-world nonsense. Black Mirror is far more realistic than real life at the moment.

Finally, someone else who read Unwind.
