The essay provides an introduction to the genre of what I have elsewhere called the "critical dystopia," a genre that has emerged in the 1980s. After explaining the differences between classical and critical dystopia, the essay concentrates on the production of Ursula K. Le Guin, one of the most significant and critical voices in today's science fiction. Moving from Le Guin's critical utopias, the essay concentrates on "The Telling," a clear example of critical dystopia.

Abstract
The essay provides an introduction to the genre of what I have elsewhere called the "critical dystopia," a genre that has emerged in the 1980s. After explaining the differences between classical and critical dystopia, the essay concentrates on the production of Ursula K. Le Guin, one of the most significant and critical voices in today's science fiction. Moving from Le Guin's critical utopias, the essay concentrates on "The Telling," a clear example of critical dystopia.File in questo prodotto:
