Handy Flow Chart

This little flowchart pretty much covers whether or not a work can be counted as dystopian and is totally applicable:

Long Story Short...

Dystopias are defined as "an imaginary place where people are unhappy and usually afraid because they are not treated fairly" (Merriam-Webster online dictionary).

Dystopian works have emerged in response to advances in modern technology, science, and political ideology. With these ever-developing categories that define the way we live our lives, our definition of humanity becomes obscure. Literary and cinematic works explore this question further and illustrate near-future worlds where humanity, free will, and the merit of life are pushed to and beyond their definitions.

This blog is a resource for all dystopia maniacs. Here, you'll find book/TV/movie reviews, trailers, links, and discussions, as well as periodic modern-day 'dystopian-esque' occurrences linked and discussed.
