The Dystopian Impulse in Modern Literature: Fiction as Social Criticism
M. Keith Booker
While literary utopias depict an ideal society and reflect an optimistic belief in the triumph of humanity and government, dystopias present a society marked by suffering caused by human and political evils. Later chapters consider dystopias after World War II, contemporary communist dystopias, and postmodernist dystopias in the West.
