Following, I deal with their opinions about the effects of industrial and technological advances, such as propaganda, as for what they witnessed because of their travels and personal experiences. Firstly, I succintly comment the outcomes of the two world wars in England to, then, relate them to the authors’ choice of the dystopian genre. The main objective of my study is based on the literary analysis of two novels: Aldous Huxley’s Brave New World in relation to George Orwell’s Nineteen Eighty-Four. The relationship between mass media, used in post-war dystopia literacy and mass communication theories will be mentioned also by stating the historical facts of the given era. Much more debated for the parameters of that era, analysis of propaganda, censorship and surveillance through mass communication theories and this causing a direct effect on dystopia literacy as reflection of the real word is the basis of this study. While breaking news and developments constantly shook the world, post-war era was a period of time where literacy had been affected deeply as well as many other disciplines as it has been a field of study for them too.
Also, the two Total Wars occurred in the past century had a deep impact on the whole of the 20th century, helping a new world order be formed. In this period, mass production has changed production and consumption habits while creating a field of study by the increase in number of mass media used. Innovations showing up after the Industrial Revolution and modern world shaping up with the help of these innovations have affected human life in various ways.
