This lecture delves into the concepts of dependency and the shift from utopia to dystopia, exploring the totalitarian nature of societies and the implications of technological control. It analyzes a classic dystopian novel where natural reproduction is replaced by genetic classification, highlighting the societal structure and the role of identity. The discussion extends to the historical context of such works and the rational hypotheses underlying societal systems, emphasizing the homogeneity within classes and the control mechanisms in place.
