American Nightmares: The Near-Future Dystopia as Political Warning, from Bradbury to Butler to the Present - David Somerfleck | Science Fiction Author

A definitive guide to the American political dystopia — from Fahrenheit 451's burning books to Octavia Butler's eerily prescient 2024, Philip K. Dick's manufactured realities, Ursula Le Guin's anarchist ambiguity, and N.K. Jemisin's enslaved geological workers. Why these five writers share a single tradition, and what that tradition demands of the reader.
