Sumario:This article investigates the processes of media transposition within the dystopian genre, using as a case study the episode “Autofac” from the series Electric Dreams (2018), an Amazon Prime Video production based on the short story of the same name by Philip K. Dick, published in Electric Dreams (1955). The study is grounded in Irina O. Rajewsky’s concepts on such processes and examines the distortion of nature — both human and environmental — present in the adaptation.
