The home based travel agent is a new kid on the block in the long history of travel agents. While traditional storefront travel agency numbers have dropped from 2001 to 2006, home based agent numbers have soared from 31,000 to 40,000.
Dystopian fiction is part of the Speculative Fiction genre, and could encompass a number of subgenres depending on the elements of the story (Dystopia, 2012; De Vos, 2011).
Dystopian is the exact opposite â it describes an imaginary society that is as dehumanizing and as unpleasant as possible. George Orwell's Animal Farm, for example, describes a dystopian society in which Napoleon, a pig, represents Joseph Stalin in a farmyard satire on Stalinist Russia and how power corrupts. Other famous dystopian authors include Aldous Huxley, Kurt Vonnegut, and Ray Bradbury.
