Four Dystopian Fiction Extracts to Explore

Written by Douglas Wise | 7 December, 2025

 

Click on the button above to download four short dystopian fiction extracts with tasks to help students explore them. I’ve taken the extracts from the novels below:

  1. City of Endless Night, by Milo Hastings (1920)
  2. 1984, by George Orwell (1949)
  3. Fahrenheit 451, by Ray Bradbury (1953)
  4. The Handmaid’s Tale, by Margaret Atwood (1985)

Here’s a snip ⤵️

They should be easy to adapt.

Hope they’re useful –
