520 $a"To be dystopian, a work needs to foreground the oppressive society in which it is set, using that setting as an opportunity to comment in a critical way on some other society, typically that of the author and/or the audience.

This volume in the Critical Insights series presents a variety of new essays on the perennial theme"--from publisher description
