Cultural Primitivism as Norm in the Dystopian Novel

'''Beauchamp, Gorman. "Cultural Primitivism as Norm in the Dystopian Novel."' Extrapolation'' 19.1 (Dec. 1977): 88-96.

Includes discussions of E. M. Forster's "Machine Stops," A. Huxley's Brave New World, K. Vonnegut's Player Piano, and Y. Zamiatin's We (all cited under Fiction). Opposed to nature, in much dystopian fiction, is "the Machine": the technological world-view that "daily comes closer to synonymity with civilization itself" (90).
