A Clockwork Orange and Never Let Me go are both set in a dystopian future. They both deal with a young protagonist trying to accept his fate in their respective societies. However. They are very different people, Alex Delarge is very impulsive and quick to anger, Kathy H. is a very empathetic and mild-mannered person. But they can still both be considered “anti-heroes”, they have that in common. Therefore, these two books share many themes, but because they were written in two different time periods and the societies of these dystopian futures are very different, they have different approaches/views on how to deal with the problems present in novels. Both novels are written by English authors and both take place in England. But Clockwork Orange was written in the “future” of the 1960s, which is now in the past. Never Let Me Go was written in 2005, but takes place in an alternate 1990s, which would also make it in the past. They are always linked to the fact that they represent a future in which the government attempts to dictate the maintenance of some sort of order. It seems like they both go to extremes to maintain or move society to where they would like it to be. But because the novels were written in completely different eras, the authors seem to take different approaches to very similar themes. In both novels, they explore in depth themes related to government power, freedom of choice, the complexity of what makes a person "human", and morality. Anthony Burgess's life experiences form the basis of the novel. Anthony claims that the most traumatic scene in the novel, when F. Alexander's wife was raped and died as a result, is said to have been inspired by the event during London's wartime blackout of 1944 .

However, they took different approaches to what makes an individual a human person.
