Abstract

This article examines how artificial intelligence is represented in Anglo-American dystopian literature, focusing on George Orwell’s 1984 and Aldous Huxley’s Brave New World. Although written before real AI existed, these works anticipate intelligent systems capable of surveillance, prediction, and manipulation. Through depictions of technological control, mechanized language, and programmed human behavior, the novels reveal how AI functions as a metaphor for domination, dehumanization, and the erosion of freedom. Their insights remain relevant to modern discussions of digital surveillance and algorithmic power.
