Political fiction, such as political novels, often criticizes an existing society or presents an alternative, even fantastic, reality that is meant to shock, or encourage society to think about political structures and their actors. The thematic scope of the political novel often overlaps with that of the social novel, the proletarian novel, and the social science fiction novel. Influential works in this genre include Plato’s Republic, Thomas More's Utopia, Jonathan Swift's Gulliver's Travels, Voltaire's Candide, and Harriet Beecher Stowe's Uncle Tom's Cabin. Political fiction sometimes posits totalitarian dystopias, as in Jack London's The Iron Heel, Sinclair Lewis' It Can't Happen Here, and George Orwell's Animal Farm and Nineteen Eighty-Four.
