Über dieses Buch

Dystopian fiction- sometimes combined with, but distinct from apocalyptic literature - is the opposite: the portrayal of a setting that completely disagrees with the author's ethos.

The critic August Nemo selected seven classic tales of dystopian scenarios.

- The Machine Stops by E.M. Forster

- The Answer by H. Beam Piper

- The Purple Cloud by M.P. Shiel

- The Empire of the Ants by H.G. Wells

- In The Year 2889 by Jules Verne

- The King in Yellow by Robert W. Chambers

- Notes from the Underground by Fyodor Dostoyevsky
