Dystopian

Dystopian fiction offers a vision of the future in which societies are in devastating decline and characters battle environmental ruin, technological control, and government oppression. Dystopian fiction can challenge readers to think differently about current social and political climates. The ideas at the heart of dystopian fiction usually fall under these topics: government control, environmental destruction, technological control, survival, and loss of individualism.
