What would it take to create a perfect world? Is it even possible? Many fictional societies have tried to create such a place, only to fall incredibly short. In this class we delved deep into the fascinating world of dystopian fiction, a place where the world looks incredibly different (and often chaotic). We read, wrote, and explored the following essential questions: What do the issues of dystopian societies expose about our own society? How do dystopian societies connect to our own society? Why is reading about/examining dystopian fiction valuable? How does one create a utopia? Is it possible?
