It’s commonly believed that our future will become more digitalised, but it’s equally possible that nuclear war would allow a complete reset
There has been a surge in Irish dystopian fiction over the past decade or so, ranging from Kevin Barry’s. While some dystopian novels veer towards fantasy, the most longevous examples use the future to reflect current politics. Ironically, they can be more contemporary than contemporary fiction. The zeitgeist is for novels to be prescient, so what can this writing reveal about Ireland?, to global war.
Dancing with the Stars: ‘I’ve had the best time of my life. I feel super fit,’ chef Kevin Dundon says as he is voted off show The surreal predominates in Ukraine. I’ve seen for myself how people’s lives are tightly controlled through curfews, identity checks and the closure of entertainment venues. In terms of Irish entertainment, the pub is an integral part of our culture, but in The Memorisers pubs have been closed down in a government attempt to atomise communities.
One fascinating aspect of dystopian fiction is the way it examines the psychogeography of a landscape. A nation’s ethos is reflected through its public buildings. In The Memorisers the bombed-out Linen Hall Library, with its history of enlightenment, is a touchstone of liberty. We northerners have also been more psychologically shaped by language control than the southern Irish.
