#24 - The New Dystopias

15 Mar 2021

Description

In the New Wave, a new batch of dystopian stories appeared that reflected the newer concerns of the time. These were different from the classics like Nineteen Eighty-Four--more diverse, and very often more hopeful. In this episode, we explore the highlights of these stories. Short story recommendation: "Harrison Bergeron" by Kurt Vonnegut. My essay on the classic dystopias. Kurt Vonnegut on "Harrison Bergeron." Darryl Hattenhauer on "Harrison Bergeron." My analysis of Logan's Run. Other works discussed: A Clockwork Orange by Anthony Burgess Logan's Run by William Francis Nolan and George Clayton Johnson
