A Vision of Dystopia: Beehives and Mechanization.
Dunn, Thomas P.; Erlich, Richard D.
Journal of General Education, v33 n1 p45-57 Spr 1981
Uses the metaphor of the beehive as a well-ordered, each-in-his-own-niche society to represent the outcome of utopian thinking. Cites twentieth-century dystopia films and literature as explicit criticisms of overreliance on planning and technology. Examines "Star Wars,""Clockwork Orange," and the works of Huxley, Forster, Zamiatin, Orwell, and Vonnegut. (Editor/DMM)
