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)
