We reach the penultimate of these 13 dystopias that will be studied in history books with a recent series, initially conceived as a trilogy (in 2020 a fourth book was published, which recounts the events prior to the story of the first volume). Internationally known thanks to its successful film adaptation, it is one of the few proposals on this […]
We retrieve the genre of Uchronia reviewed a couple of publications ago for the proposed eleventh post in this series of 13 Dystopias that will be studied in history books. It is one of the most recently published works among those already reviewed, and one of the best known steampunk references. A story, therefore, in the line of retrofuturism that, […]
We arrive at the tenth proposal in this series of 13 Dystopias that will be studied in history books, continuing with the graphic novel format, although we leave the English language (predominant in this series) behind to talk about a work written in French. A dystopia that, like several of those already presented, was published in volumes over several years: […]
Today, July 25, we take advantage of the celebration of Galician Motherland Day to make a small stop on this path that we began to travel in the month of May, and that leads us to review some of the most significant titles of the dystopian genre. Or, rather than a stop along the way, we could talk about a […]
The ninth work proposed within the framework of this series of 13 Dystopias That Will Be Studied in History Books involves a change of format with respect to the previous titles.

Within the framework of this series, it has two peculiarities that differentiate it from the previous recommendations, since it is the first work written by […]
We reach the equator of this new series of 13 Dystopias that will be studied in history books with an essential work of the dystopian novel (although its title seems to suggest that it has no place in this series of undesirable corrupted utopias). A work that knew how to present, like few others, and in a tremendously graphic way, […]
The work selected for this new installment of the series 13 Dystopias that will be studied in history books is, in addition to being one of the most recognized novels of the dystopian genre (and as such, a jewel of contemporary literature), a painstaking study on the nature of totalitarianisms. A text that, like so many of those proposed in […]
The fifth proposal in this series of 13 Dystopias that will be studied in history books is none other than one of the forerunners of cyberpunk. A text worthy of the Nebula Award, the Hugo Award and the Philip K. Dick Award, which acknowledges it as one of the best science fiction novels published in the USA: Neuromancer, by William […]
Little remains to be said about the fourth proposal in this series of 13 Dystopias to be studied in history books, a classic among the classics of the dystopian genre. It is a work that revolves around an idea maintained by many authorities throughout history: that books are dangerous because, as a tool that allows us to expand critical awareness, […]
