What is dystopian fiction?
Dystopian fiction refers to a genre of literature, film, or other media that portrays an imaginary society deeply flawed, often oppressive, and unsettling. Unlike utopian fiction, which envisions an ideal world, dystopian stories typically present a warning or critique of present-day society by depicting a dark and grim future. These narratives often explore themes such as totalitarian government, social inequality, environmental degradation, surveillance, and loss of individual freedoms. Dystopian fiction ultimately serves as a mirror to our own reality, urging readers and audiences to reflect on the potential consequences of certain actions and ideologies.
