Abstract (EN)

John Brunner's futuristic ecological thrillers explain the forms of pollution and the inevitable impact on the planet and humans in the near future. Brunner's terrifying and depressing novels represent an environmental, global and political disaster in an unspecified near future. These novels offer a dramatic and prophetic look at the potential consequences of the escalating destruction of the earth. Air pollution is so bad, and it spreads widely. Everyone seems to suffer from many diseases because of pollution. We can't breathe clean air, drink fresh water, eat healthy food or even swim. Furthermore, no one can endure it without a filter mask. All nature components are polluted. A major reason for pollution is modern technology and abuse. Another reason for pollution is overpopulation, which causes depletion of nature resources and pollution and we (as humans) are a part. Because of racism and inequity, wars break out in many places of the world, where people use many kinds of weapons such as missiles and nuclear bombs to kill and to destroy each other and nature resources as well as. So pollution of: air, water, food, soil spreads everywhere. Therefore, this study criticizes man's greed, ignorance and racism and overpopulation as well. And also it discusses the forms of pollution and its impact in the three novels combined.
