MOTIVES OF UNIFIED POWER, UNIFIED WORLD ORDER AND IMPOSED HAPPINESS IN THE NOVEL-ANTIUTOPIA AND IN THE WORKS OF RUSSIAN CYBERPANK

Abstract

The work is dedicated to the disclosure of motives of unified power, a unified world order and imposed happiness in an anti-utopian novel and works of Russian cyberpunk. At the same time the world order that is common to all people is opposed to the focusing on a certain personality (anthropocentricity) – one of the main signs of both the anti-utopian novel and Russian cyberpunk. The elements of semantic structure of the motive of unified world order are similar to the dystopian novel are noted in A. Tyurin’s novel “The Stone Age”: imposing the society on a unified life regulation by cybernetic systems, following the society on imposed regulations, suppressing cybernetic system’s attempts to go beyond a unified life regulation. Differences can be traced from the point of view of the elements of the motive performing certain functions (since the state is changing to cybernetic systems). The article concludes that the semantic structure of the motive of imposed happiness in a work has a semantic structure similar to the anti-utopian novels.
