Summary/Abstract: Limits between Utopia and Dystopia are slim. This article seeks to analyze the differences from this two-faced literature. What are the issues of dystopia, what does it denounce, and which reflections of our society can we see? We will see that dystopia is first a surveillance society, symbolized with a “cristal palace”: power is not vertical but horizontal.
