The Eradication of Utopian Societies The government’s use of advanced technology helps them watch and control what the people are allowed or obligated to do. The authors of all three books chose to do this to make the bureaucracy seem more extreme towards a utopian society.

Most people circumspect the idea to revolt against the union though. The use of a political uprising shows that if the people truly want something, they will go through anything to receive their wants. In the novel 1984, Winston and Julia tried to rebel against “Big Brother”.

When he first took the book he didn’t realise what he actual has done and how it could affect his life until he went home. When he entered his house, he instantly knew that it was a bad idea to steal the book causing him to hide it, which makes him paranoid that the
