Some dystopian fiction

List below was seeded from written fiction mentions in Graham J Murphy's non-fiction article "Dystopia" in the book "The Routledge Companion to Science Fiction" (2009); then decorated with download links where available & my commentary. It's presumably genre defining fiction.

List is in order of publication rather than order in which the works are mentioned in Murphy's article.

Link on story title goes to my post on the story, if there is one. Link on author name or year yields more matching fiction.

1. Thomas More's "Utopia"; download; 1516: Yes - that's dystopia to some!
2. Jules Verne's "The Begum's Millions"; 1879.
3. H C Marriott-Watson's "Erchomenon, Or The Republic of Materialism"; download from scribd (I couldn't see anything - asks me to upgrade Flash Player - kept claiming I don't have latest version even after I upgraded); 1879.
4. Walter Besant's "The Revolt of Man"; download Harvard University version or University of Toranto version; 1882.
