Abstract
Cyber dystopia or algorithmic dystopia is the depiction of an imaginary society in which digitized technology and the algorithms associated with it determine the present and future of the inmates who are more or less trapped in its wireless authority. These texts have a technology-based narrative which influences the social, economic, political, and psychological domains of the characters involved in it. Major disruption is caused in these realms due to a set of algorithmic components like virtual reality, artificial intelligence, panoptic surveillance and ubiquitous connectivity which disperses human individuality and identity The movie Deham (The body) which was made in English is adapted from the play Harvest. It was released in 2001 and directed by Govind Nihalani.
