Description
“Tom Moylan delivers a critical investigation of
the history, aesthetics, and politics of dystopia. To situate this work, he recaps
the methodological paradigm that developed within the interdisciplinary fields
of science fiction studies and utopian studies as they grew out of the oppositional
political culture of the 1960s and 1970s. He then presents a new and comprehensive
account of the textual structure and formal operations of the dystopian text.
From there, he focuses on the science fictional dystopias [...] of the 1980s
and 1990s” (WP)
