![]() ![]() ![]() This paper also elaborates how the speculative genre and its content made a perfect match for writers who struggled to portray the mechanical life of the technology-driven society. The selected fiction being set in postwar America shows how technology changed the way humans lived and interacted, and the discontents resulting from excessive dependence on machines. The study is based on the theories of Fredric Jameson and Jean Baudrillard, and includes a close reading of four short stories of Ray Bradbury, which have explicitly dealt with " technoculture ". Starting from the 1700's, the current paper traces how technology made its way into major works of fiction, especially those belonging to the speculative category including dystopian works, uptil the Postmodern age i.e. The study is conducted by situating texts of this category in their relative socio-political context. This paper attempts to look into " Technoculture " as a postmodern trend in science fiction how it originated and evolved over the years. ![]()
