Scope Notes
- Literally, "bad place." Use for works that are accounts of imaginary worlds, usually in the future, in which present tendencies, beliefs, principles, or theories are carried out to their intensely unpleasant culmination. Examples include George Orwell's 1984 and Aldous Huxley's Brave new world.
