* George Orwell, Nineteen Eighty-Four
* Aldous Huxley, Brave New World
Example sentences:
Written by Stephen King under the penname of Richard Bachman, “The Running Man” is a fantastic dystopian novel about a frightening future where ratings and entertainment takes form in a man hunt, and where even the “winners” are losers. (Jamie Frater)
Anthony Burgess' "A Clockwork Orange" is one of the most artfully crafted dystopian novels ever penned, rivaled only by Jack Womack's "Random Acts of Senseless Violence." (Mac Tonnies)
In every dystopian novel, the individual is of little, if any consequence, the desire being for uniformity within society. (BBC)

distopijski roman je roman negativne utopije u kome je covekova vera u buducnost poljuljana i vizijom buducnosti dominira opresivan politicki i ekonomski sitem
Example sentences:
Roman "The Carhullan Army" je smešten u distopijsku budućnost na severu Engleske. Klimatske promene su počele da imaju sve većeg efekta - česte su velike poplave i dolazi do nestašice hrane. Građani Velike Britanije su preseljeni u velike urbane centre, a ekonomija je uništena. Vlada zemlje zauzima "tvrdu liniju" i pokušava da obnovi život uz zabranu putovanja, kontrolu rađanja, i digirovano razmeštanje na poslove. (WWW News)
SF pisac Kori Doktorou u svom poslednjem romanu "Little Brother" ima odjeke distopijskog remek-dela Džordža Orvela "1984", ali sam pisac smatra da njegovo delo nije distopijsko. "Distopijski roman, ja mislim, karakteriše beznadežnost, a to svakako nije slučaj sa ovom knjigom. (Dnevni list Danas)
...drugi roman Andrije Matića Šaht („Stubovi kulture“), predstavlja vredan pokušaj distopijski oblikovane slike sveta, odnosno sugestivne fikcionalne projekcije njene skorije budućnosti. Raznovrsna društvena patologija, političke isključivosti pomnožene nacionalističko-demagoškim uzletima i ksenofobičnim poniranjima u ponašanju jednog društva u tranziciji, predstavljene su u ovom romanu izražajno i uverljivo. U takvim okolnostima junak/pojedinac, neminovno, biva poražen i unižen. (Politika)
