Warn or Indoctrinate?
Does distopian fiction such as George Orwell’s 1984 and Animal Farm and Aldous Huxley’s Brave New World and Suzane Collins Hunger Games serve to warn us about a totalitarian future, or does it romanticize it, implant concepts of inevitability in our minds, and serve as a roadmap to those who believe we would actually be better off in such a society?
