Abstract
With the increasing use and development of technology, the interest in technological dystopias is increasing as well. Literary and TV dystopias are used as cautionary tales for what may come in the future and a wake-up call for what is happening in the present. Dave Eggers’ The Circle is a novel about a technological company that has all the means to improve humanity but takes it too far and turns the society into a dystopian one with constant surveillance, tracking devices, mandatory registration, and an abundance of devices used for mass control. Black Mirror is a popular TV series that shows how technology influences people by using a different technological device or advancement in every episode, covering topics from surveillance, child tracking, oppression, tyranny, resurrections, punishment, and more. The aim of this thesis is, by focusing on these two technological dystopias, to outline the elements of the subgenre.
