The first half of the Twentieth Century was witness to the great boom of dystopian literature. In texts such as Brave New World, 1984, Piano Player and Fahrenheit 451, the mass communication media are critically shown as responsible for shaping of man as well as society in conformity with totalitarian purposes of social organization.Downloads
