Technohorror: The Dystopian Vision of Stephen King

'''Egan, James. "Technohorror: The Dystopian Vision of Stephen King."' Extrapolation'' 29.2 (Summer 1988): 140-52.

JE finds a "tenuous but definite link . . . between King's nightmare vision and the dystopian tradition of [Y.] Zamiatin, [G.] Orwell, and [A.] Huxley," dealing with such standard dystopian things and themes as "malevolent machines," "irresponsible and incompetent technology," "the monolithic, technocratic governmental apparatus," and, more generally, of the destructive effects and threat of technology (141-42).
