Dystopia: a natural history

 

A fictional portrayal of a society in which evil, or negative social and political developments, have the upper hand, or as a satire of utopian aspirations which attempts to show up their fallacies, or which demonstrate, in B. F. Skinner’s words, "ways of life we must be sure to avoid" – in the unlikely event that we can agree on particulars.
