Course Description

With the forthcoming prequel to The Hunger Games coming out, utopian and dystopian film and literature have become more popular than even after WW2 with the looming threat of atomic warfare. In many ways both genres are uniquely philosophical in their vision of what the best and the worst social and political arrangements are that humans can achieve. But boiled down, dystopian novels are more criticisms of our world, our possible worlds, and in essence, satires. Why is this genre gaining in popularity again, especially in Young Adult fiction? What is happening in postmodern society that young readers are reading books based on fear, loss and the will to survive against all odds? This class will focus on answering that question—we’ll track the emergence of the modern dystopian novel and we’ll talk about governments, war, freedoms, fears, religion, culture, the apocalypse, modern society and many other ideas that may give us a foothold into this complex topic.

Some of the earliest Dystopian Works include Mary Shelly’s The Last Man (1826) and H G Wells’ The Time Machine (1895), but even some dystopian characteristics appear as early as Swift’s Gulliver’s Travels (1726). But it was We by Yevgeni Zamyatin that is considered the first modern dystopian novel in the face of industrialization and the world wars. It became very popular after WW2 with the fear of atomic war looming but then became less popular by the end of the Cold War.

Since the first modern dystopian novel was published in early 1920s called We by Yevgeni Zamyatin (although elements of post-apocalyptic literature appear as early as Mary Shelly’s The Last Man), several novels have entered the mainstream and then becoming hugely popular in the late 20^th Century, including The Handmaid’s Tale by Margaret Atwood, Atlas Shrugged by Ayn Rand, Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep? by Philip K Dick which became the basis for Blade Runner, Running Man by Stephen King, 1984 by George Orwell, Brave New World by Aldous Huxley, The Road by Cormac McCarthy (which won the Pulitzer!) and many others. Young Adult literature has since exploded with these books from The Darkest Mind to Divergent to The Hunger Games, which is probably now the most popular modern dystopian novel.

Begin with paper Book Choice: 1984 by George Orwell

       Written more than 70 years ago, 1984 was George Orwell’s chilling prophecy about the future. And while 1984 has come and gone, his dystopian vision of a government that will do anything to control the narrative is timelier than ever. Nominated as one of America’s best-loved novels by PBS. Winston Smith toes the Party line, rewriting history to satisfy the demands of the Ministry of Truth. With each lie he writes, Winston grows to hate the Party that seeks power for its own sake and persecutes those who dare to commit thought crimes. But as he starts to think for himself, Winston can’t escape the fact that Big Brother is always watching. (Watch Trailer and TedEd Animation about What is Orwellian, 5 min)

Begin with paper Book Choice: Fahrenheit 451 by Ray Bradbury (classic dystopian sci-fi)

        Sixty years after its originally publication, Ray Bradbury’s internationally acclaimed novel Fahrenheit 451 stands as a classic of world literature set in a bleak, dystopian future. This is one of the all time great science fiction writers of all time! Today this book's message has grown more relevant than ever before. Guy Montag is a fireman. His job is to destroy the most illegal of commodities, the printed book, along with the houses in which they are hidden. Montag never questions the destruction and ruin his actions produce, returning each day to his bland life and wife, Mildred, who spends all day with her television “family.” But when he meets an eccentric young neighbor, Clarisse, who introduces him to a past where people didn’t live in fear and to a present where one sees the world through the ideas in books instead of the mindless chatter of television, Montag begins to question everything he has ever known. (Trailer 1966 vs HBO 2018 Trailer with Michael B. Jordan - here is a TedEd Animation, 4 min)

        After the 1st wave, only darkness remains. After the 2nd, only the lucky escape. And after the 3rd, only the unlucky survive. After the 4th wave, only one rule applies: trust no one. Now, it's the dawn of the 5th wave, and on a lonely stretch of highway, Cassie runs from Them. The beings who only look human, who roam the countryside killing anyone they see. Who have scattered Earth's last survivors. To stay alone is to stay alive, Cassie believes, until she meets Evan Walker. Beguiling and mysterious, Evan Walker may be Cassie's only hope for rescuing her brother--or even saving herself. But Cassie must choose: between trust and despair, between defiance and surrender, between life and death. To give up or to get up. With a surprising plot twist, the book is entertaining. (Trailer)

Watch “Nuclear Monday” (7 min) - discuss what to do in a nuclear war? Could it happen? What if only one bomb was dropped in Atlanta or New York City? What if it was a few? How does society respond? How do we as individuals react and behave?

Begin with the Paper Choice: Pure by Julianna Baggot (YA)

       We know you are here, our brothers and sisters . . . Pressia barely remembers the Detonations or much about life during the Before. In her sleeping cabinet behind the rubble of an old barbershop where she lives with her grandfather, she thinks about what is lost--how the world went from amusement parks, movie theaters, birthday parties, fathers and mothers . . . to ash and dust, scars, permanent burns, and fused, damaged bodies. And now, at an age when everyone is required to turn themselves over to the militia to either be trained as a soldier or, if they are too damaged and weak, to be used as live targets, Pressia can no longer pretend to be small. Pressia is on the run. There are those who escaped the apocalypse unmarked: Pures. They are tucked safely inside the Dome that protects their healthy, superior bodies. Yet Partridge, whose father is one of the most influential men in the Dome, feels isolated and lonely. Different. He thinks about loss--maybe just because his family is broken; his father is emotionally distant; his brother killed himself; and his mother never made it inside their shelter. Or maybe it's his claustrophobia: his feeling that this Dome has become a swaddling of intensely rigid order. So when a slipped phrase suggests his mother might still be alive, Partridge risks his life to leave the Dome to find her. When Pressia meets Partridge, their worlds shatter all over again.

Begin with the Paper Choice: The Darkest Minds by Alexandra Bracken (YA)

       When Ruby, a young African-American girl, woke up on her tenth birthday, something about her had changed. Something alarming enough to make her parents lock her in the garage and call the police. Something that got her sent to Thurmond, a brutal government "rehabilitation camp." She might have survived the mysterious disease that killed most of America's children, but she and the others emerged with something far worse: frightening abilities they cannot control. Now sixteen, Ruby is one of the dangerous ones. But when the truth about Ruby's abilities—the truth she's hidden from everyone, even the camp authorities—comes out, Ruby barely escapes Thurmond with her life. On the run, she joins a group of kids who escaped their own camp: Zu, a young girl haunted by her past; Chubs, a standoffish brainiac; and Liam, their fearless leader, who is falling hard for Ruby. But no matter how much she aches for him, Ruby can't risk getting close. Not after what happened to her parents. While they journey to find the one safe haven left for kids like them—East River—they must evade their determined pursuers, including an organization that will stop at nothing to use Ruby in their fight against the government. But as they get closer to grasping the things they've dreamed of, Ruby will be faced with a terrible choice, one that may mean giving up her only chance at a life worth living.

Week 8

 Begin with paper Topic Choice:  The Road by Cormac McCarthy (Pulitzer-winning literary)

       A father and his son walk alone through burned America. Nothing moves in the ravaged landscape save the ash on the wind. It is cold enough to crack stones, and when the snow falls it is gray. The sky is dark. Their destination is the coast, although they don't know what, if anything, awaits them there. They have nothing; just a pistol to defend themselves against the lawless bands that stalk the road, the clothes they are wearing, a cart of scavenged food—and each other. The Road is the profoundly moving story of a journey. It boldly imagines a future in which no hope remains, but in which the father and his son, "each the other's world entire," are sustained by love. Awesome in the totality of its vision, it is an unflinching meditation on the worst and the best that we are capable of: ultimate destructiveness, desperate tenacity, and the tenderness that keeps two people alive in the face of total devastation.

After a trial run that saw him travel three hours into the future, the Time Traveler pushes further into the future to year 802,701, where he meets a mellow race of humans called the Eloi. Soon he discovers that the Eloi are not the only human race left on earth... (Trailer 2 min Guy Pierce version vs 1960's version)

In the not-too-distant future, three astronauts land on what appears to be a planet just like Earth, with lush forests, a temperate climate, and breathable air. But while it appears to be a paradise, nothing is what it seems.  They soon discover the terrifying truth: On this world humans are savage beasts, and apes rule as their civilized masters. In an ironic novel of nonstop action and breathless intrigue, one man struggles to unlock the secret of a terrifying civilization, all the while wondering: Will he become the savior of the human race, or the final witness to its damnation? In a shocking climax that rivals that of the original movie, Boulle delivers the answer in a masterpiece of adventure, satire, and suspense.

His fateful decision unleashes a drastic series of events. An unlikely candidate is appointed to replace him: Juliette, a mechanic with no training in law, whose special knack is fixing machines. Now Juliette is about to be entrusted with fixing her silo, and she will soon learn just how badly her world is broken.
