Dakle, iako jesu fiktivni, također su i anti-totalitaristički romani koji pokazuju kakav bi svijet mogao postati te su i upozorenje da našu budućnost ne pretvorimo u budućnost koja je toliko užasavajuća da bi označila kraj čovječanstva koje poznajemo danas.After the birth of the concept of ‘dystopia’, many novels and stories were made centered in dystopian societies where people struggle to survive and hold onto their identity. To su priče o najgorim mogućim slučajevima koji bi se dogodili kad bi rat i međusobne borbe okupirali svijet. Glavni likovi Winston Smith (1984) i Leo Kall (Kallocain) su potpuno obični ljudi koji predstavljaju stvarnost pojedinaca u takvim državama.

Romani dijele mnoge sličnosti i međusobno i u usporedbi sa svijetom 1940-ih godina, kada su napisani. Roman Georgea Orwella, 1984 i roman Karin Boye Kallocain sva su distopijska romana koja prikazuju dva totalitaristička društva u zemljama gdje se svaki iskaz individualnosti i slobode mišljenja kriminalizira.
