Example sentence(s):
  • 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
