This research explores the transition towards the modern era from the brutal scenario of World Wars I &II. Different kind of fiction was produced in this context and every writer has tried his/her level best to present that dilemma in his/her own way. It pre-sents a clear picture that which sort of elements were there to bring that specific change and transition towards the modern era in 20th century. It has brought the ur-ban settlements and rapid growth in the industrial deeds. During that specific time, fascism, consumer culture, surveillance, anti- intellectualism, media influence com-munism and totalitarianism were on the peak. All these factors lead the writers to create dystopian fiction and it formed a striking literary movement. This research is limited to the three dystopian novels of 20th century including Brave New World by Aldous Huxley, Lord of the Flies by William Golding and 1984 by George Orwell. This research is qualitative in nature, Marxist, Althusserian and Freudian theories support this research as a primary theoretical framework. This research is helpful to know about the Pre and Post World Wars scenario and to know about the socio-political scenario of the present day world.

In today’s society, Artificial Intelligence is continuously evolving, with remarkable speed and it has a considerable impact on the community as a whole, starting with medicine, education, industry, and it affects communication in human relations. Once one can no longer deny this technological advancement with many implications on our lives, a new topic of discussion and academic research arises: to what extent will it be necessary to redefine the parameters of communication and the relationships between the individual, the group, the society, and the Artificial Intelligence. The present research tackles several problematic aspects related to AI in the present and some that may arise in the near future when robots will probably become a commodity. First, the author will investigate the communication relationship between AI and the individual, now, given the fact that the excessive use of technology recalibrates and reformulates the way one perceives and envisages the harmony and the efficiency of the communication process. Second, the connection between AI and ethics is another topic of high interest now, and even though the flourishing development of AI supposedly has as a mission the benefit of humankind, many ethical dilemmas keep arising and feed collective social anxiety, while no satisfying and consistent solutions seem to be found. Globalisation and technological progress mark another turning point for contemporary society, which witnesses an unforeseen academic impasse of knowledge, meaning that it is prone to reconfigure stable academic disciplines and to estimate the emergence of new ones, dictated by post-contemporary global necessities. For example, the ethics of robots or AI has high chances to become a well-established academic discipline soon, given the present turbulent and dynamic technological context, constantly shaping humanity’s life. Considering the future implications of ethical and communication nature becomes a stringent necessity even at its earliest stages, not only for researchers of various departments and ethics committees but also for governments, corporations, and other industry branches. Therefore, creating and engraving a culture of social responsibility towards AI represents one of the most difficult challenges of our times, and finding the balance will make the difference between utopia and dystopia, where AI is a miracle... or an evil.

Tupac Shakur’s holographic persona at the Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival in Indio, California is a point of departure for discussing the Black utopian and dystopian imagery in a future world through technological innovation. In conversation with hip hop studies and critical race theory, Afrofuturism is used as an aesthetic and humanistic methodology to interpret the manner in which Tupac’s posthumous representation complicates ethical, cultural, and theological debates about idealistic and undesirable depictions of Black virtual reality. Understanding Tupac’s routine through an Afrofuture perspective presents a model for assessing perceptions of virtual Black life in the context of a range of social issues, including the perspectives of alternative Black religious futures, resistance of Black artists to White appropriation and altering of Black dead people for the purposes of profit-making. Tupac’s performance underscores the need for broader dialogue, not only on the racial implications of post-human mediations in public space, but also the ideological challenges that Black scholars of future studies face due to larger cultural concerns, especially those of the White hegemony in a hyper-commodified digital age.

PL
Twórczość jednego z najwybitniejszych współczesnych pisarzy niemieckich, Lutza Seilera, często jest rozpatrywana w kontekście przemian politycznych z lat 1989/1990. Zarówno poetyckie krajobrazy dzieciństwa ze skażonych uranem terenów byłego NRD w tej poezji i prozie eseistycznej, jak i dwa heterotopiczne światy w powieściach Kruso (2014) i Stern 111 (2020) zdają się dopuszczać takową lekturę. Jednak w tej postenerdowskiej literaturze zawarta jest także poetycka analiza indywidualnego i zbiorowego doświadczenia egzystencjalnego związanego z przełomem politycznym, prowadzona pod kątem jego utopijnego i dystopijnego potencjału. Jak szybko utopia może się przekształcić w dystopię, zostanie ukazane na przykładzie wybranych heterotopii w prozie Seilera.

The work of one of the most important contemporary German authors, Lutz Seiler, is often viewed against the backdrop of the German Reunion of 1989/1990. Both the poetic childhood landscapes of the uranium-contaminated former GDR areas in his poetry and short prose, and the two heterotopic novel worlds in Kruso (2014) and S t e r n 111 (2020) seem to permit such a reading. But much more is offered in this literature: a poetic examination of the individual existential and collective experience of the reunification and of their utopian and dystopian manifestations and potentials. How quickly a utopia f lips over into a dystopia is shown on the basis of heterotopias in Seiler’s prose
