Social fiction

Social fiction (also called political fiction) is sub-genre of science fiction focused on possible development of societies (most often set in near future or a fictional country), very often dominated by totalitarian governments. The term generally refers to fiction in Europe (particularly Eastern Europe) and the Soviet Union written in reaction to communist rule and the domination of the Soviet Union. It is related to the subgenre usually referred to in the West as social science fiction.
