Anti - Utopias According to Antony Burgess

The theme of the research: Anti – utopias according to Anthony Burgess
In XXI century political, social and cultural causes led to the rebirth of the anti – utopias – from the phenomenon of the mass culture “The Matrix” by the Wachowski brothers to the Russian writer’s Vladimir Sorokin’s novel “Oprichnik’s day”. As a result there is a huge growth of interest about this genre. But the fact that anti-utopias are not classified, as for example, fiction is (Sci-fi, Fantasy, etc.) creates problems in researching and comparing anti-utopias.
