Low-Tech Dystopia
I have always been aware of the themes concerning low-tech dystopias from
reading books, playing video games, and watching movies. After discussing the
three narratives of the future in class, it makes me want to learn more about
them. People are consumed with power in a dystopian environment and the poor and
immigrants were treated as being less than human. Like in
Parable of the Sower, lower-class
citizens of all ages had to fight for their lives in a dog-eat-dog world where
murder and rape has become a normal occurrence.
I will first look at some literature that involves post-apocalyptic
settings for my research. I will try to identify the narratives used in them and
compare each one of them. I can even look at some movies like “Children of Men”
on what moralities in low-tech societies will be like. I am also familiar on
post-apocalyptic video games which involves zombies and I will research them on
why they became so popular.
