This episode of the Scent of the Word podcast is about dystopia. Hosts Yevhenii Stasinevych and Serhiy Chirkov talk about dystopia as a genre and analyze how it "hooks" the reader. Are all dystopias really already written and why do teenagers love them so much? Can dystopia exist without utopia and what are its secret meanings? Who is Orwell and what is special about dystopias of the 20th century? Is dystopia real in a totalitarian country? And also about prophecies, dictatorship and dystopia in Ukrainian literature. Share in the comments which dystopia is most memorable to you and which we did not mention in the podcast. Support us with your subscriptions and likes - it is important to promote the channel.
