Meditating upon paradise and the Hereafter can lead to a vision of perfection, idealism and utopianism which can be represented in literature in a genre called utopian fiction. A flawless world described to have no violence; where human beings live in a globe devoid of frictions and hostilities. In modern literature, artists notice that there are no such ideals in this perplexed world and oppose utopian literature by another speculative genre called dystopian fiction which flourished in the 19th  and 20th century. Dystopian literature is the act of writing to activate the human mind; opposing the total control of the one state on its citizens. This research work focuses on the evolution of dystopian fiction as anti-utopian genre where revolution and resistance are exchangeable in a paradoxical world; where happiness is doomed to failure, laughter to irony and perfection to error. Our choice had fallen on two writers whose novels help plunge in the realm of the artist’s own vision about dystopian society: the Russian Yevgeny Zamyatin and the Canadian Margaret Atwood. The reason for such choice is to demonstrate that Zamyatin’s novel We was the first genuine dystopian work of fiction which has inspired other 20th century writers and on. In this vein, Atwood’s The handmaid’s Tale can be considered as a continuation to Zamyatin’s prediction of a world pitiless of the human race.
