Watchmen is a groundbreaking graphic novel that deconstructs the superhero genre. Written by Alan Moore and illustrated by Dave Gibbons, with colours by John Higgins, it explores the human failings of superheroes in an alternate timeline where historical events have unfolded differently. The story delves into themes of power, morality, and the complexities of human nature, set against the backdrop of the Cold War era. It is known for its layered storytelling, nuanced dialogue, and its impact on the comic book industry by addressing taboo themes such as abuse of power, conspiracy, and social decay.

Written in 1931 and published in 1932, 'Brave New World' is a dystopian novel set in a futuristic World State where humans are bred in vitro and predestined into a rigid social hierarchy. The novel explores themes of technological advancement, social conditioning, and the loss of individuality and freedom. The story revolves around characters such as Bernard Marx, an Alpha who questions the society, Mustapha Mond, the World Controller, and John, a 'Savage' from a reservation who introduces elements of emotion and individuality into the highly controlled World State. The novel critiques the optimism of technological progress and its potential to create a society that values stability and happiness over humanity and freedom.

La novela narra la historia de los animales de la Granja Solariega, que se rebelan contra su dueño, el granjero Howard Jones, y establecen su propia sociedad basada en los principios del socialismo. Sin embargo, con el tiempo, los cerdos, liderados por Napoleón, corrompen estos ideales y establecen una dictadura que imita las prácticas opresivas de los humanos. La obra explora temas de poder, corrupción, y la degeneración de las ideologías revolucionarias en autoritarismo.
