This collection of short stories is the perfect introduction to the dystopian and utopian genres with texts from authors including Shirley Jackson, Ken Liu, Franz Kafka, Begum Rokeya, and many more.
Stories of a grisly ritual lottery designed to ensure a good harvest, a feminist utopia, a society where a personal assistant app robs users of freewill, and people dealing with the aftermath of a climate change apocalypse, provide insights into the societal concerns of the times in which they were written.
Drawn from the 19th, 20th and 21st centuries, the collection offers readers the opportunity to broaden their understanding of different perspectives, to reflect about the world that they live in, and think critically about how society might evolve.
This collection is designed to support teachers in diversifying the KS3 and KS4 (11-16) English curriculum and is perfect for preparing students for unseen texts at GCSE.
