Volume 8 – "Green and Pleasant Land" by Steve Shahbazian
Influenced by the famous political dystopian novels of the 20th century, author Steve Shahbazian provides a commentary on the themes within his own Green and Pleasant Land. In this analysis, the author responds to his own work, showing how propaganda, disinformation and thought control runs throughout his fictional world.
In Green and Pleasant Land, dystopia is a surge of violent atavism society is powerless to resist. Set in an England of the future, a weak government and a fragmented society prove unable to contain rising violence. Could a first world country become a failed state?
The last volume in A Century of Dystopia, the author reviews his own work, describing how he has constructed a dystopian world, exaggerating reality to create a "real life on steroids" effect, and how his fictional world relates to the real one.
Volume 8 looks at the mysteries within Green and Pleasant Land. In a world where propaganda and disinformation are the common currency of debate, can the truth ever be known? The answer is both yes and no.
