    The human aspiration for control has an element of cynical manipulation on the desires of society. Lois Lowry’s novel ‘The Giver’ and Andrew Niccol’s film ‘In Time’ portrays the potential harms of power through dystopian systems. Both texts scrutinize the exploitation of freedom through the development of a futuristic society that advocates potential harm to the human race.
