Dystopian novel developed out of utopian as a form of negative utopia. In dystopian novels characters are commonly placed in the futuristic, urban worlds affected by violent wars, human alienation, totalitarian state control and excessive use of technology. Human labour is subordinated to machines, and nature resources are abolished as non-profitable. Superior minority controls all the information. Main protagonists try to fight the social order and to restore the old way of life. Orwell and Huxley deal with themes of dehumanization and thought control in 1984 and in Brave New World. Both describe human alienation, the totalitarian power of the state and lack of human will to change the state of things.
