From 1970s until the early 1980s the Brazilian science fiction almost ceased its activities, with a sharp drop in the activities of the fans and the publication of works of national authors. This range, however, is called “Wave Utopian/dystopian”, because it published articles critical of the military regime, by authors belonging to the literary mainstream. This article argues that this period is not homogeneous in thematic terms, it is possible to tease out the works-throught a comparative analysis of its political content-showing that from the early 1980s, the themes of Brazilian CF were speculatios abot the alternatives that were open to the country in the context of political liberalization process, wich would lead to democratization.
