Answer 1

Answer:

Dystopian novels so often attempt to destroy or remove literature or art from their societies in order to create a destructive society that is the hallmark of dystopia.

Dystopian novels are attempts by some authors to dehumanize society, alienate human beings from their socio-cultural beliefs, and frighten them out of their utopian euphoria.

Explanation:

Dystopian literature as a speculative fiction was started to challenge utopian literature.  Since dystopia is the antonym of utopia or a perfect society, dystopian novels create scenes of a frightening society where individual liberty and freedom are seriously curtailed by a fearsome and powerful state, with high level of environmental destruction, exacerbated by the ever-present ozone-depleting layer.  Some notable dystopian novels include Aldous Huxley's "Brave New World" (1932), George Orwell's "1984" (1948),  the Harry Potter series, and most recently, Christina Dalcher's "Vox" (2018).
