Foreword / Pat Mills -- Apocalypse wow -- The road to dystopia -- War of the words: the literary dystopia -- Who's watching whom? -- Drawn to the dark -- Dystopia is everywhere -- Something to keep you going.
"We have an obsession with broken societies set in futuristic worlds, curious but terrifying new technologies and post-apocalyptic dusty wastelands where survivors grow more desperate every day.
