Abstract [English]

The genre of speculated fiction rose up with the sole idea of projecting the present political system into the far future thereby allowing the writer to imagine the implications of the futuristic setting and exercise the need to look into the immediate political inconstancies in an essentially futuristic scale. The works like Orwell’s 1984, Jack London’s The Iron Heel or Zamyatin’s We, reflected the fears of fascism over powering the global political dictum of collective ruling and warned against the dangers of science and technology in case the society progressed the same way or its ways left unchecked.
