Dystopia: A Natural History is the first monograph devoted to the concept of dystopia. Taking the term to encompass both a literary tradition of satirical works, mostly on totalitarianism, as well as real despotisms and societies in a state of disastrous collapse, this volume redefines the central concepts and the chronology of the genre and offers a paradigm-shifting understanding of the subject.

Table of contents:

1. Rethinking the Political Dystopia: The Group and the Crowd

2. Monstrosity and the Origin of Dystopian Space

3. The Caveman’s Century: The Development of Totalitarianism from Jacobinism to Stalinism

4. Totalitarianism from Hitler to Pol Pot

5. Mechanism, Collectivism, and Humanity: The Origins of Dystopian Literature, 1810–1945

6. The Huxleyan Conundrum: Brave New World as Anti-Utopia

7. Vaporizing the Soviet Myth: Orwell’s Nineteen Eighty-Four

8. The Post-Totalitarian Dystopia, 1950–2015
