Early dystopian science fiction, such as George Orwell's 1984 and Thea von Harbou's Metropolis, presents bleak worlds where capitalism knows no bounds and has corrupted sovereign powers, exploiting the lower classes and benefiting only a few at the top. Political laws and policies related to human life, known as biopolitics, devalue human life, reducing it to mere expendable machines producing for capitalism. Capitalism's focus on progress has made it a central concern in much of science fiction. This book explores the portrayal of dystopian capitalism and biopolitics in works such as Brave New World and R.U.R., among many others, covering science fiction from the early 1900s to the present.
