People have always been interested and worried about the future. In the absence of a time machine capable of traveling to future ages, the role of guides to new worlds was performed by science fiction writers. Many predictions of science fiction representatives turned out to be prophetic, something came true, something continues to be realized. The genre of dystopia, which depicts the future in the most gloomy, unattractive colors, stands apart in science fiction literature. The author focuses on four writers - Evgeny Zamyatin, Aldous Huxley, George Orwell and Ray Bradbury. On the example of their famous works ("We", "Brave New World", "1984" and "451 degrees Fahrenheit"), possible variants of the fictional and real world order and the model of the destruction of mankind are thoroughly analyzed. The author also pays attention to other famous writers who paid tribute to dystopia in their work. What is the role of power in a dystopian world? What is the secret of the ideal dictatorship? Can a humorist predict the future? Why scientific and technological progress is not able to save a person? What "utopian" predictions turned out to be the most correct? What is the secret of the special insight of science fiction writers?
