| | Dystopia - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | So "dystopia" and "utopia" are not exact opposites in the sense that "dysphoria" and "euphoria" are opposites. | | | While such a character would more clearly understand the nature of the society, based on comparison with his own, the knowledge of the outside culture subverts the power of the dystopia. | | | However, the time travel necessarily moves portions of the story, and usually quite large portions, out of the time of the dystopia, making it less an overwhelming presence in the novel. |

| | The great utopian H.G. WELLS produced his images of dystopia, too -- forecasts of what the world must be like if the forces of socialism did not triumph -- in "A Story of the Days to Come" (1897) and When the Sleeper Wakes (1899; rev vt The Sleeper Awakes, 1910). | | | Fowler WRIGHT's The New Gods Lead (coll 1932) is a scathing indictment of the values of technocracy and "the utopia of comforts". | | | Walter BESANT produced two significant early dystopias in The Revolt of Man (1882), in which women (>WOMEN AS PORTRAYED IN SCIENCE FICTION) rule with disastrous consequences, and The Inner House (1888), in which IMMORTALITY has led to social stagnation. |

In the matter of human relations, we are halfway to Huxley's dystopia. |

| | The Chronicle: 12/3/2004: Biology, Culture, and Persistent Literary Dystopias |
| | Women are forbidden to read in The Handmaid's Tale; literature is disdained in Brave New World; language is cynically perverted in 1984; and the humanities don't even exist in the world of We. | | | What have they got that I ain't got?" The answer, for Lahr's Cowardly Lion, is "courage." We ask, albeit less poetically: "What puts the dys in dystopia?" And we answer: a denial of biology. | | | Literary dystopias have this in common: They are imagined societies in which the deepest demands of human nature are either subverted, perverted, or simply made unattainable. |

| | Sometimes anti-utopia is used as a synonym for dystopia. | | | Dystopia is a well-established word--it is now found in most college-size dictionaries--that was first used by John Stuart Mill in 1868, though it appears to have not caught on immediately, and was re-coined in the middle of the twentieth century. | | | Another word to consider is anti-utopia, which dates from the late 1960s. |
