Una distopìa è un'utopia negativa, un'esperienza di vita indesiderabile, dovuta a condizioni ambientali o tecnologiche pericolose, che sono state portate al loro limite estremo. Il presente ha in sé i semi di un innumerevole quantità e varietà di distopie future e pochi sono sempre i guardiani che vigilano perché queste non si realizzino. Seguite il filo dei racconti fin che potete, vi condurranno in un Umanità nuova e al tempo stesso antica nelle aspirazioni e nelle sue turpi pulsioni. Il finale o i diversi finali che dispenserò al traguardo cercheranno di sorprendervi ma comunque di lasciare aperti mille dubbi, mille ripensamenti, mille possibili sviluppi, per riflettere oltre gli schemi convenzionali.

"Die Welt steht auf kein‘ Fall mehr lang", singt der Schuster Knieriem in Nestroys Stück Lumpazivagabundus (1833) und Karl Kraus bezeichnete Österreich einmal als "Versuchsstation des Weltuntergangs". Dystopien, aber umgekehrt auch Utopien durchziehen die österreichische, wie die europäische Literatur. In einer Reihe von Beiträgen werden in dem Band solche Krisen-, aber auch Hoffnungsphänomene vom 18. bis zum 21. Jahrhundert nachgezeichnet. Dabei entsteht das Bild einer von Utopien und Dystopien gekennzeichneten Literatur der Moderne und Postmoderne. Utopien, seit Thomas Morus' Utopia (1516), sind vor allem als Staatsutopien weit verbreitet und entwickeln Alternativmodelle zu gegenwärtigen Staatsgebilden. Für sie alle gilt, dass sie ohne "Möglichkeitssinn" (Robert Musil) und "Möglichkeitsdenken" (Wilhelm Voßkamp) nicht konzipiert werden hätten können. Dystopien beschreiben oft futuristische Weltuntergangsszenarien, die sich aufgrund der multiplen Krisen nicht zuletzt seit der Jahrtausendwende einer großen Beliebtheit erfreuen. Bemerkenswerterweise ziehen Leser/-innen, wie Thomas Macho bemerkt hat, aus Untergangsszenarien mehr subjektiven Lustgewinn als aus utopischen Konstruktionen. In Beiträgen zu Marie von Ebner-Eschenbach, Johann Nestroy, Arthur Schnitzler, Ödön von Horváth, Alfred Kubin, Thomas Bernhard, Péter Nádas, Fedor Ivanovič Panferov und Elfriede Jelinek u.a. wird den titelgebenden thematischen Konzepten nachgegangen. Der Band richtet sich an Literaturwissenschaftler/-innen, aber auch an nichtgermanistische Leser/-innen, die Interesse an den Phänomenen von Utopie und Dystopie in der österreichischen und europäischen Literatur haben.

Though reaching ever further toward the skies, today’s cities are overshadowed by multiple threats: climate change, overpopulation, social division, and urban warfare all endanger our metropolitan way of life. The fundamental tool we use to make sense of these uncertain city futures is the imagination. Architects, artists, filmmakers, and fiction writers have long been inspired to imagine cities of the future, but their speculative visions tend to be seen very differently from scientific predictions: flights of fancy on the one hand versus practical reasoning on the other. In a digital age when the real and the fantastic coexist as near equals, it is especially important to know how these two forces are entangled, and how together they may help us best conceive of cities yet to come. Exploring a breathtaking range of imagined cities—submerged, floating, flying, vertical, underground, ruined, and salvaged—Future Cities teases out the links between speculation and reality, arguing that there is no clear separation between the two. In the Netherlands, prototype floating cities are already being built; Dubai’s recent skyscrapers resemble those of science-fiction cities of the past; while makeshift settlements built by the urban poor in the developing world are already like the dystopian cities of cyberpunk. Bringing together architecture, fiction, film, and visual art, Paul Dobraszczyk reconnects the imaginary city with the real, proposing a future for humanity that is firmly grounded in the present and in the diverse creative practices already at our fingertips.

The concepts of utopia and dystopia have received much historical attention. Utopias have traditionally signified the ideal future: large-scale social, political, ethical, and religious spaces that have yet to be realized. Utopia/Dystopia offers a fresh approach to these ideas. Rather than locate utopias in grandiose programs of future totality, the book treats these concepts as historically grounded categories and examines how individuals and groups throughout time have interpreted utopian visions in their daily present, with an eye toward the future. From colonial and postcolonial Africa to pre-Marxist and Stalinist Eastern Europe, from the social life of fossil fuels to dreams of nuclear power, and from everyday politics in contemporary India to imagined architectures of postwar Britain, this interdisciplinary collection provides new understandings of the utopian/dystopian experience. The essays look at such issues as imaginary utopian perspectives leading to the 1856-57 Xhosa Cattle Killing in South Africa, the functioning racist utopia behind the Rhodesian independence movement, the utopia of the peaceful atom and its global dissemination in the mid-1950s, the possibilities for an everyday utopia in modern cities, and how the Stalinist purges of the 1930s served as an extension of the utopian/dystopian relationship. The contributors are Dipesh Chakrabarty, Igal Halfin, Fredric Jameson, John Krige, Timothy Mitchell, Aditya Nigam, David Pinder, Marci Shore, Jennifer Wenzel, and Luise White.

In the near future sci-fi world of Qualityland, algorithms help create an idyllic life for its citizens, but what if the perfect world wasn't built for you? Welcome to QualityLand, the best country on Earth. Here, a universal ranking system determines the social advantages and career opportunities of every member of society. An automated matchmaking service knows the best partners for everyone and helps with the break up when your ideal match (frequently) changes. And the foolproof algorithms of the biggest, most successful company in the world, TheShop, know what you want before you do and conveniently deliver to your doorstep before you even order it. In QualityCity, Peter Jobless is a machine scrapper who can't quite bring himself to destroy the imperfect machines sent his way, and has become the unwitting leader of a band of robotic misfits hidden in his home and workplace. One day, Peter receives a product from TheShop that he absolutely, positively knows he does not want, and which he decides, at great personal cost, to return. The only problem: doing so means proving the perfect algorithm of TheShop wrong, calling into question the very foundations of QualityLand itself. Qualityland, Marc-Uwe Kling's first book to be translated into English, is a brilliantly clever, illuminating satire in the tradition of Kurt Vonnegut, Douglas Adams, and George Orwell that offers a visionary, frightening, and all-too funny glimpse at a near future we may be hurtling toward faster than it's at all comfortable to admit. So why delay any longer? TheShop already knows you're going to love this book. You may as well head to the cash register, crack the covers, and see why that is for yourself.

By the author of THE HANDMAID'S TALE and ALIAS GRACE Pigs might not fly but they are strangely altered. So, for that matter, are wolves and racoons. A man, once named Jimmy, lives in a tree, wrapped in old bedsheets, now calls himself Snowman. The voice of Oryx, the woman he loved, teasingly haunts him. And the green-eyed Children of Crake are, for some reason, his responsibility. Praise for Oryx and Crake: 'In Jimmy, Atwood has created a great character: a tragic-comic artist of the future, part buffoon, part Orpheus. An adman who's a sad man; a jealous lover who's in perpetual mourning; a fantasist who can only remember the past' INDEPENDENT 'Gripping and remarkably imagined' LONDON REVIEW OF BOOKS
