Document Summary
Science fiction as a genre is traced back to frankenstein, which was published in 1818. But, the more modern, literary, and dystopian science fiction novels that we see today started with nineteen eighty-four. This book advanced dystopian science fiction by using a futuristic version of lon that contained mechanical technological applications to directly oppress others politically. This book shows the scary future of what constant surveillance can bring through two levels: The common theme of the state"s perpetual surveillance. Depictions of people wearing or implanting devices and their effects on what we expect our privacy to be. This science fiction novel shows walls and screens that give the state a tool to constantly watch and listen to its people. This is rooted in the very plausible and foreseeable technology that has become a staple for future worlds and dystopias. The surveillance methods at times aren"t just technological, per say.
