Since the times of Plato, both fictitious ideal societies and future societies
full of darkness and catastrophes have been fictionalized in Western
literature and philosophy. Traditionally, the former was called utopia and
the latter was called dystopia. This paper discusses the hidden existence of
the concept of dystopia in religious terminology in the East that emerged
after our study of George Orwell's 1984 and Anthony Burgess's A
Clockwork Orange in the context of New Historicism. In addition, in the
the current study, it is also emphasized that a fictionalization of a future that
includes dark scenarios for humanity can be perceived as a reflection of the
individual anxiety disorder stemming from survival instinct as a collective
consciousness of humanity.
