Dystopian societies are often the subject of study in the works of many science fiction writers because, through the texts, the authors can explore more deeply potential scenarios for the development of the world and how human actions can harm everything around them. Works of this genre, as a rule, are characterized by hyperbolization of reality, in which the current trends of the present are transformed into absolute and sinister forces of the future. Moreover, any changes in ecosystems under the law of dystopia are usually initiated by the harmful influence of humanity on the environment. In addition, there are other kinds of literature that support the opinion about harmful influence of mankind on the environment. In other words, it is men who is responsible for the deterioration of life on Earth, which is expressed in the literature in the strengthening of control over neighboring biological species. This essay aims to justify the above thesis about the harmful influence of human on nature through a discussion of three texts read in the framework of an academic course. The first work that supports the idea of the harmful influence of human on the surrounding species is Oryx and Crake by Margaret Atwood. In the novel, the author describes the distant future of the United States of America, in which a strict totalitarian regime is established. The power belongs to large financial corporations engaged in genetic experiments on animals and people. They destroy nature for the sake of huge profits and distribute food and medicines that are harmful to people. In such a society, pills are created that cause sterilization, genetically modified animals; pigs are raised for organs, and chickens without beaks and brains. Atwood (2017) writes that “the organs could be customized, using cells from individual human donors, and the organs were frozen until needed” (p. 3). The future presented in the novel is also characterized by the destruction of books and art in general. All this is the terrible result of human actions. Through dystopian stories, the author shows his idea of what decisions made in modern society can lead to. The influence of humans on animals at the moment, despite the presence of various environmental movements, is mainly negative. Animals are exterminated, used for food, and skins and bones are used to create clothing and homes. Many representatives of the fauna disappeared from the face of the planet, becoming victims of humans. When writing dystopian novels, despite their exaggeration, the author’s primary goal is to show what can happen if they adhere to such a policy of action. Therefore, the main task of the dystopian work is to identify problems from social life and draw attention to them. The second book on the subject of the relationship between humankind and nature is The Sixth Extinction: An Unnatural History by Elizabeth Kolbert. The book is mainly devoted to the issues of global climate change, flora and fauna of the Earth, as well as the direct impact of humans on this. In modern society, technological progress is developing very rapidly. Kolbert writes that “no creature has ever altered life on the planet in this way bef
