The Speculative Voice (Huxly vs Niccols) - Elliott Dooley The purpose of the speculative voice is to not only to warn people of inhumane trends developing into widely accepted culture but also to make people reconsider the whole idea of a "utopian society". The idea that a world can be a place of perfect equality between all humans and still have stability is an idea that if put into practice is sure to fail and cause upheaval and possibly the demise of humanity itself.

Bradbury satirically implements the newly ‘innovative’ television within Fahrenheit‚ portraying the technology through his envisionment of the destruction/ eradication the newly fond technology could bring upon humanity‚ hence opening up to the dystopia found in Fahrenheit 451. Andrew Niccol wrote Gattaca in the 1990’s‚ a decade of technological rises including the human genome project‚ cloning and the modification of genes.
