Of course Lewis loved Animal Farm more than 1984, for Lewis always loved good stories with animals more than those without. Or so I say tongue in cheek. ;)

Distopyan might be accompanied more generally by Anthropological SF: using the vastness of future and space as a broader canvas to depict humand and societal aspects. 'Three Body Problem' and 'Dune' are examples of the most political/sociological, and Cordwainer Smith's stories an example of the more psychological side.

Distopyan or Anthropoligical can both degenerate into Fiction of the Displaced Persons if done incorrectly.
