      ab: In this article the author discusses novels that depict a dystopian future on earth. The author contends that significant events in the 1990s, including the collapse of the Soviet Union, the identification of global warming as an agent in climate change, a rise in globalization and the occurrence of epidemics, led to anxieties about the future. The author claims that such concerns are reflected in a number of science fiction novels including such books as "Oryx and Crake," by Margaret Atwood, "Never Let Me Go," by Kazuo Ishiguro and "Cloud Atlas," by David Mitchell.
