Thread: The Dystopia Club

I have noticed Antmanbee, Neji and Wålf reading literature I like. Well, "Watchmen" might be a borderline case, but the spirit is the same anyway.

This thread is intended for discussion about depictions of dystopia in books and comics. A list of what immediately comes to my mind:

Huxley, Aldous: Brave New World (1932)
Orwell, George: Nineteen Eighty-Four (1949)
Bradbury, Ray: Fahrenheit 451 (1953)
Pohl, Frederik - Kornbluth, Cyril M.: The Space Merchants (1953)
Gibson, William: Neuromancer (1984)
Rufin, Jean-Christophe: Globalia (2004)

Please continue from here.

I'll be honest with you Kataja; I don't know anything much about dystopian literature, and Nineteen Eighty-Four is the only book I can remember to have read in the genre. Though I do find the idea intriguing and might look into it some more.

I've watched the Watchmen film, but never read the comic. I decided to read Nineteen Eighty-Four after watching the movie Equilibrium, I didn't like the film much, but found the setting interesting and thus some friends of mine recommended Orwell's book.

I've also played games like Half-Life 2, which are set in a pretty dark and depressive future.

Oooohhhh. I loved george orwell's 1984.

I would say more, But its my birthday tomorow, so im off to bed. But ill post later.
