The paper deals with the phenomenon of dystopia in Czech literature before 1989.

The purpose of the paper was also to show how in the authors’ visions of autocratic states, administration is taking control over ordinary people and what kind of tools it uses to manipulate them: terror, self-censorship or various addictions.
