Dystopian States of America is a crucial resource that studies the impact of dystopian works on American society-including ways in which they reflect our deep and persistent fears about environmental calamities, authoritarian governments, invasive technologies, and human weakness. Dystopian States of America provides students and researchers with an illuminating resource for understanding the impact and relevance of dystopian and apocalyptic works in contemporary American culture. Through its wide survey of dystopian works in numerous forms and genres, the book encourages readers to connect with these works of fiction and understand how the catastrophically grim or disquieting worlds they portray offer insights into our own current situation. In addition to providing more than 150 encyclopedia articles on a large and representative sample of dystopian/apocalyptic narratives in fiction, film, television, and video games (including popular works that often escape critical inquiry), Dystopian States of America features a suite of critical essays on five themes-war, pandemics, totalitarianism, environmental calamity, and technological overreach-that serve as the foundation for most dystopian worlds of the imagination. These offerings complement one another, enabling readers to explore dystopian conceptions of America and the world from multiple perspectives and vantage points.

This is an anthology of short stories related to the dystopian, post-American nation of City-State. The Stories are loosely related at times, but can be read as stand-alone stores, for the most part. This is a precursor to a trilogy that will be coming out soon. We hope you enjoy this world we created. FROM THE BACK COVER Welcome to City-State. After war and turmoil destroyed the United States in 2195, a new nation emerged, and The Second Dark Age ended. In the year 3211, the people of the nation of City-State are tormented by their current government. Beneath a beautiful urban landscape of bright lights, two-hundred story skyscrapers, and breathtaking technology, City-State holds deep, destructive secrets, rife with political subterfuge, and inhumane barbarism. Here, each story illuminates the common man, the cruel politicians, and the bizarre, yet unique citizens who fall somewhere in the middle. This collection of short stories showcases the perils of a heartless nation, the promises of hope, and the shadow of rebellion.

NATIONAL BESTSELLER • A second American Civil War, a devastating plague, and one family caught deep in the middle—this gripping debut novel asks what might happen if America were to turn its most devastating policies and deadly weapons upon itself. From the author of What Strange Paradise "Powerful ... as haunting a postapocalyptic universe as Cormac McCarthy [created] in The Road." —The New York Times Sarat Chestnut, born in Louisiana, is only six when the Second American Civil War breaks out in 2074. But even she knows that oil is outlawed, that Louisiana is half underwater, and that unmanned drones fill the sky. When her father is killed and her family is forced into Camp Patience for displaced persons, she begins to grow up shaped by her particular time and place. But not everyone at Camp Patience is who they claim to be. Eventually Sarat is befriended by a mysterious functionary, under whose influence she is turned into a deadly instrument of war. The decisions that she makes will have tremendous consequences not just for Sarat but for her family and her country, rippling through generations of strangers and kin alike.

This carefully crafted ebook: "Looking Backward & Looking Further Backward" is formatted for your eReader with a functional and detailed table of contents. Looking Backward - Julian West, a young American, towards the end of the 19th century falls into a deep, hypnosis-induced sleep and wakes up 113 years later. He finds himself in the same location (Boston, Massachusetts), but in a totally changed world: It is the year 2000, and while he was sleeping, the United States has been transformed into a socialist utopia. The young man readily finds a guide, Doctor Leete, who shows him around and explains all the advances of this new age, including drastically reduced working hours for people performing menial jobs and almost instantaneous, Internet-like delivery of goods. The two start working on improving the future with the experiences from the past and the presence. Looking Further Backward - Set in future of 2023 the book narrates the story of how China invades USA in 2020 after China has adopted rampant capitalism as opposed to rest of the world who are in throes of Nationalism, a socialism like set up. Written in a form of a diary, the novel directly hits out at Edward Bellamy's 1888 Utopian novel Looking Backward. The political drama that unfolds in this novel will make you deeply wonder how the author could foresee so much!

This collection takes stock of current discourses in American studies on the political valence of American utopias, be they as religious diasporas or as socialist experiments, fantastic or realist, successful or failed. The included essays take into account the spatiality of utopias (especially in their visionary scope), analyze currents in literary utopias, and look at dystopian visions in literature. This volume strives to keep alive the long tradition of writers, artists, and scholars who warned against imminent disasters and envisioned ways to counter such ruinous bearings.

"The year is 2050. The US is by now a global empire, sealed off from an outside world that has been reduced to a series of wars against several Chinese factions. America is little more than a wasteland. The great cities have disintegrated into memories of a bygone glory. New York has become a tourist haunt and theme park. Washington is the hub for central command operations, and only those on official business ever visit the capital. The President and Vice President, along with the Secretaries of State and Defense, are no longer identified for reasons of national security. There is no sense of the past. History, as we know it, ceases to exist." "It is in this grim and terrifying landscape that we find David Leverett, a former government advisor and architect of America's twentieth century postwar foreign policy. Having just reached his one hundredth birthday, Leverett confronts his past, chronicling his role in the evolution of the American Empire, from the end of the Carter era, to the glory years of the Reagan administration, and finally to the solidification of America's foreign policy of world domination under the influence of corporations, think tanks and lobbies of the two Bush administrations. Both a testament to and a lament for the country he served, Leverett exposes the backroom politics and players that engineered the destruction of the United States and its rebirth as US-Global, a paranoid super-state and scientific dictatorship with no known center of power." "Author Paul William Roberts draws on real events and real people, chronicling humanity's trek toward a dystopian future under the influence of a corrupt American empire. Sweeping in scope and controversial in subject matter, Homeland is Roberts' deeply disturbing vision of the world to come."--BOOK JACKET.
