Dystopian Fiction
The novels
_Brave New World_ by Aldous Huxley and _1984_ by George Orwell are stories that
take place within societies that are in a horrible state because of harsh
governments and how, like the question notes, societies have degenerated because
of totalitarian governments. Things
within these types of stories are the furthest from what one would consider “perfect”
or “utopian.” Things are, thus, considered a “dystopia,” which is the
antithesis of a perfect society. As
such, stories that fall into this category are termed “dystopian fiction.”
