Sommario/riassunto |
|
Absent Rebels: Criticism and Network Power in 21st Century Dystopian Fiction focuses on the relationship between literary dystopia, network power and neoliberalism, explaining why rebellion against a dystopian system is absent in so many contemporary dystopian novels. Also, this book helps readers understand modern power mechanisms and shows ways how to overcome them in our own daily lives. |

Sommario/riassunto |

One of the most important outcomes of market reforms in China has been the emergence of a significant domestic private sector.
