Many emblematic books of the twentieth century fall into the category of dystopian writing or fiction. But what exactly is dystopian fiction? What are the typical characteristics of this genre, if there are any? What makes these books unique? What is the aim of dystopian writing?

Besides, the analysis will show how books that follow a certain tradition can still be unique and very different from each other.Finally, there is a chapter dedicated to the possible pedagogical implications of such texts in an EFL classroom.This book brings together all the knowledge that is required to approach, analyse, and employ dystopian literature.

"To rid this world of evil, I must first Blaze." History tells of a time long ago when small town scientist Dr Isaac's discovered the cure for cancer. Great right? And it was... For a time. The "Advanced" were born. I am one of few remaining immune to a virus created to kill only humans. Broken, cold-hearted I fight tooth and claw to survive, life in the wastes is harsh every day a battle. Baby and I give no quarter to those who cross us. I just want to find and kill the guy who murdered my mother, and kill him... slowly. But destiny has other ideas for me. Four men claim I'm theirs, but am I too broken to be with them? Fate decrees we save the world together, but first we must discover who we really are. My name is Kayla, and this is a story of how war never changes. But humankind does.

Anthem is a dystopian fiction novella by Ayn Rand, written in 1937 and first published in 1938 in England. It takes place at some unspecified future date when mankind has entered another dark age characterized by irrationality, collectivism, and socialistic thinking and economics. Technological advancement is now carefully planned (when it is allowed to occur at all) and the concept of individuality has been eliminated (the use of the words I or Ego is punishable by death).

Spoiler-free description: With the truth finally revealed, Kress and Render lead the Seventeens on a dangerous journey. But nothing is ever quite as it seems, and danger lurks behind every corner...

Fast forward to the year 2100. New York, along with Phoenix, Beijing, Sao Paulo, Manila, and many more of the world's most populated cities, is irrevocably changed. Much of the earth's great middle swath is subject to droughts, wildfires, and desertification, while increasingly frequent super storms plague coastal areas, destroying precious agricultural lands by bringing seawater far inland. Where in the world shall we live, and what will our built environments be like? How can we change our way of life to be more in keeping with natural systems and processes? Through 2100: A Dystopian Utopia, Vanessa Keith and StudioTEKA visualize possible design solutions to suggest the profound adaptability and possibilities of the design field to meet environmental challenges in the future. The issue is framed by noted sociologist, Saskia Sassen, with her preface and advocacy of "delegating back to the environment". UR03 2100: A Dystopian Utopia / The City After Climate Change by Vanessa Keith/StudioTEKA Vanessa Keith is a registered architect and the Principal of StudioTEKA, which she founded in 2003. Based in New York city, StudioTEKA is a boutique firm that engages in both built and research based design work. "It's good to see that the onset of rapid global warming is nudging creative minds into action. Job one is to make sure we prevent as much change as possible, but that which we can no longer prevent will require us to adapt, and here are some provocative plans to stir your imagination!" Bill McKibben,350.org "The book is indeed utopian in seeing the best in human potential rising to the challenge of a dystopian threat. It sounds a powerful call for architects to take an active role and respond to climate change's most dire scenarios with provocative design solutions. As we should. As we must." Winka Dubbeldam, Chair, PennDesign
