It's set in a future dystopia, where a lone individual fights against a totalitarian regime. |
My favourite genre is the dystopia, and this novel is filled with references to a horrible future, filled with fascists and war. |
The story is a delirious, chaotic, often impenetrable allegory of tribalism in an industrial dystopia. |

The two works together conjuring the horror of a dystopia which is never as far away as you might imagine. |
In Metropolis, Fritz Lang had the office as an urban dystopia with workers shuffling about in smocks with bowed heads, sedated by repetition. |
