Read The Handmaid's Tale

Elisabeth Moss as Offred in Gilead; Atwood's novel and beyond.

Experience the dystopian classic by George Orwell

Watch Stanley Kubrick's classic dystopian film A Clockwork Orange

Huxley's chilling vision of an engineered utopia (1932).

Bradbury's dystopia where books are burned (1953).

Zamyatin's 1921 glass city of numbers; the book Orwell and Huxley both borrowed from.

Alex and his droogs in Nadsat slang, and the Ludovico cure; Burgess's 1962 novel, not the film.

Josef K. is arrested for something nobody will name; the word Kafkaesque comes from here.
