Dystopian Deliberations

Description

Dystopian Deliberations: Essays on Dystopian Fictions and Films delves into the world of dystopian fiction, a compelling sub-genre of speculative fiction that explores societies plagued by total surveillance, chaos and psychological manipulation. Drawing inspiration from works like Yevgeny Zamyatin’s We, this book highlights the urgent conversation surrounding totalitarianism, the fear of external threats and the dehumanised state of citizens. Divided into two sections, the book features 19 carefully curated essays that span a diverse range of dystopian fictions and films, offering critical insights into how these narratives explore both societal collapse and the possibility of change. Whether you’re a research scholar, educator or an interested reader, this book provides a valuable resource for understanding the multifaceted world of dystopian literature and cinema.
