What are the new authors of dystopias seeking? Are they combative, political,or commercial? What do they aim to condemn? What are their referents? Do they want to change the world? Following one of the leitmotivs of this third edition of the festival, we contrast utopias and dystopias inside and outside science fiction. Four new authors in this genre have chosen this sub-genre for their first novels. David Toses has done so with L’intacte (Spècula, 2023), a text halfway between dystopia and cyberpunk. In contrast, Rubèn Suriñach and Mireia Lleó mix ecologism and apocalypse in their novels. Suriñach wrote Tot era massa fràgil (Pol·len Edicions), a hopepunk dystopia that explores the dilemmas facing social movements, while Lleó penned Sota la cendra (Obscura), a dystopian young adult novel that forefronts climate change. Mariló Àlvarez, the author of La primera onada (Bromera), a dystopian young adult novel on social justice whose second part, Insurgents (Bromera), was just published, will be in charge of leading the conversation.
