Literature of dystopia has been a mirror of society’s apprehensions regarding the abuse of power, especially regarding technological progress. This research examines the implications of technology in the works of significant dystopian literature like George Orwell’s 1984, Aldous Huxley’s Brave New World, and Ray Bradbury’s Fahrenheit 451. These works show that, without ethical responsibility, technology turns into an instrument of surveillance, control, and dehumanization. The article discusses how dystopian literature depicts the use of technological advances by authoritarian governments to stifle individuality, freedom, and truth. Through a critical reading of such works, this research raises serious questions regarding moral accountability, the responsibility of science in society, and the fine line between innovation and suppression. In an era progressively dominated by AI, data monitoring, and automation, the warnings contained in dystopian literature are deeply pertinent. This study emphasizes the requirement for ethical guidelines that direct technological advancement in a direction benefiting humanity instead of dominating it.
