Dystopia	comment	"Dystopia", Ancient Greek for "bad place", is a setting that takes a sociopolitical issue and turns it up to eleven, creating a society that many of us would fear to live in. Often, a dystopia can be too one-note. The author is thinking "capitalism sucks!", for instance, and everything wrong with the world turns out to be the fault of nasty Corrupt Corporate Executives and their nasty, greedy megacorporations. Conversely, it could be "government sucks!" and the corporations are the last line of defense against the evil, totalitarian bureaucrats. Either way, it is one note. Other Dystopias are about how a multitude of things have gone wrong, and now here we are, surviving with as much grace as possible. It is common in literature to create a dystopia through the Deconstruction of an earlier creator's Utopia, showing how horrible it would be to live in that Utopia. Another purpose is to serve as a Big Bad for The Hero and his friends to oppose. World As Obstacle, as it were. These are more likely to be toppled, or at least escaped from, than others. Occasionally, a Fish out of Water will seem to arrive in a Utopia, only to find that it's a dystopia for all but the elite. Here are some common flavors of dystopia: Crapsack World: Though not all Crapsack Worlds are politically-charged Dystopias. Totalitarian societies where citizens live out dehumanized and fearful lives, feeling the government's eyes upon them at every waking moment, being afraid to step out of line for even a moment lest they be brutalized or worse, "disappeared" by the Secret Police. Expect curfews and bans on "love" to show up early in; they're a sure-fire cue card for oppression. People are as happy as anyone in a utopian world, but only through Government Drug Enforcement, The Evils of Free Will, Happiness in Slavery or even Getting Smilies Painted on Your Soul. Empire with a Dark Secret, with those who discover the secret in danger of being Released to Elsewhere. Bread and Circuses worlds where a minority of people are brutally repressed; other traits can also define the minority, such as being book readers. False Utopia, the society seems to be a utopia but only at first. Contrast with Utopia, its Inverted Trope. Though based on deconstruction, the Dystopia genre has been subject to being deconstructed itself: see also Dystopia Is Hard and Artistic License â€“ Economics (true oppression, especially of the Big Brother variety, is really expensive), and how people, in general, are resistant to the creation of a society that they believe is against their general well-being. For someone pursuing this type of society as an end in itself, see Dystopia Justifies the Means. For more types of Dystopias, see You Would Not Want to Live in Dex. For the game, click here. A specific subtrope is the Techno Dystopia: that is, a dystopia caused and run by futuristic technology. Dystopian Oz is a specific subtrope that focuses on Land of Oz works and references. If you want to try your hand at writing one of these yourself, we've got you covered.

Dystopia / int_15b46ac7	comment	In Starting A New Life For The Discarded All Rounder, the home country of the protagonist Roa has a false meritocracy system in place. It's a very strict apprenticeship system to decide your career path if you're a citizen there. As an apprentice, you are dismissively called "an all-rounder" and that's if the mentor is being charitable. Only 20% of the apprentices ever get certified and proceed to a successful life as an adventurer or craftsman. The remaining 80% are left to wallow with their own devices, in abject poverty until they die. The top brass blames them for failing and refuses to acknowledge the many flaws in the system, most notably that the mentor, without supervision of any kind, is the ultimate arbiter of which apprentice he certifies or not. Heck, the mentors don't even have to teach their apprentices at all. Any apprentice who tries to get a second mentor, after being driven to quit, or expelled, is not likely to find one, because they're treated as "cowardly quitters" or "loser failures" respectively. How they were mentored, if they were mentored at all, is never examined. Should the apprentice succeed in spite of this crippling handicap, assassins are sent at them to try and cover up the systems' flaws. Surrounding countries have repeatedly stated that this is not sustainable, but the top brass just doesn't care.

Dystopia / int_168e5807	comment	Mercury Heat: We never actually see Earth except in flashback, but events on Mercury portray it as quietly dystopian. In particular, humans are subjected to a personality analysis which determines what careers they may or may not be fit to perform. In a dystopian satire on 2010s developments in the "gig economy", the majority of the population is treated as interchangeable and disposable laborers competing only on who is willing to work most cheaply, as most job skills can be temporarily installed in human minds using wetware. It turns out, at the end of the first arc, that the terrorists Luiza's just wiped out had a point. Mercury doesn't have to be settled, and all of the workers who've died there did so for no reason; the whole thing has been carried out because the powers that be liked the idea of colonizing another planet. It's strictly public relations.

Dystopia / int_233840c3	comment	The first season of Viper takes place in a dystopian tech noir setting. The day after tomorrow, society benefits from advanced communication technology and medical achievements such as fully artificial heart transplants. However, this comes at the cost of being constantly terrorized by the organized techno-mafia that closely runs the city behind the scenes. The police are often as corrupt as the criminals they're supposedly trying to stop, forcing the lead character to take the vigilante path in the hope of restoring the city to a brighter state. Throw in the fact the local government may rob you of your own thoughts and memories if they decide they have a better use for you, and you start to see how bleak it really is.

The "heroes" of the novel are violent white supremacists who not only want to kill every non-white person on earth but also every white person who isn't as racist and genocidal as they are. Their actions not only create a world that is dystopian in itself to anyone who is not a white supremacist, but result in the wiping out of ninety percent of humanity, which only a white supremacist would consider a happy ending.

The backstory is that after rising oceans consumed huge areas of land, drought and fires destroyed agricultural land people waged war over the dwindling resources. Hunger crisis and war decimated population. The USA disintegrated. A new state Panem was set up from the ashes. The people in the 13 districts rebelled against the governing Capitol city. Humankind nearly went extinct in that rebellion. After the rebellion got defeated, the Capitol imposed gladiatorial games upon the districts as a permanent warning against future disobedience. The situation of Panem at the begin of the movie series resembles a futuristic version of the Roman Empire combined with a police state keeping a watchful eye on all citizens and ensuring peace.

Rumors of a Gamma Clearance are treason. and supported by swarms of robots, omnipresent surveillance and an endless bureaucracy. Players are Red-level Troubleshooters, whose job is to find trouble and shoot it, and whose main targets are traitors, Communists and other members of secret societies, as well as unregistered mutants and Commie Mutant Traitors. This is complicated by the fact that every human in Alpha Complex has some kind of mutant power, and is also a member of one of the secret societies, making everyone a Commie Mutant Traitor.

He reacts by committing suicide in despair. Red Barchetta from the album Moving Pictures based on the story A Nice Morning Drive, written by Richard Foster (itself a kind of dystopia-by-over-watchfulness).

Dystopia / int_3e8c09b9	comment	The world of Attack on Titan turned out to be this. The regime behind the Walls engaged in widespread censorship and suppression of information, destroying any form of advanced technology and innovation, and the Military Police hunted down and killed scientists who did it, including Armin's parents. The Greater-Scope Villain, Marley is even worse. Eldians (Eren's race) were being discriminated and quarantined, forced to live in ghettoes and wear badges like the Jews in the Holocaust, and if they committed even the tiniest crime, they and their entire families were converted into Titans and used as living weapons. Marley justified it by saying it is justice and retribution from the past atrocities by the Eldian Empire, but it turned out, they were just as bad. The Eldian Empire itself was an ancient dystopia founded a thousand years ago. When the First King Fritz, a slaver and rapist, forced his daughters (Maria, Rose and Shiina) to eat the corpse of their mother and the first Titan, Ymir, gaining the power of the Titans. With the Eldians having the Titans in their possession, they conquered the world and established a global totalitarian regime which engaged in widespread eugenics, racism, human experimentations and genocide, with Marley to be the first civilization to be conquered and annihilated. During the reign of Eldia, everyone lived under the fear of not just the Titans, but also of its horrible policies. This was why Eldians were so despised all over the world, and why the 145th king, Karl Fritz, destroyed the Empire, retreated many survivors behind the Walls, and brainwashed them to forget everything, while censoring everything and killing anyone who was immune to the mind wipe, including Asians such as Mikasa's parents.

Human controlled space broke down into at least 9 different inter-stellar territories and they all come with their own distinct flavor. The protagonist Alex and her Only Friend Elis, both from originally opposite sides of the AI WAR, now having to work together to survive are sickened at the sheer callousness of two of these powers, the Solarian Federation and The Corporate Systems. The latter will happily provide goods and services until they milk you dry and then spit you out, while the former ships off colonies to a world with very, very hostile fauna, with only the barest of information and explanation and then dumps them there to be left on their own, but the most recent arc (currently ongoing as of this chapter), the colonial dropship not only drops them right on top of a nest of insects that could pass for dragons, but when Alex and Elis undertake an emergency rescue mission, the lead freighter captain goes out of his way to hinder and antagonize any kind of rescue attempt.

And then the violence gets so bad that the floating city stops working, with everyone either at war or fleeing from purges on both sides.

Dystopia / int_49a0a477	comment	Snow Crash is an interesting case as it is a libertarian dystopia rather than a totalitarian one. The USA has broken down into city-states run by Mega Corps. Fenced neighbourhoods are guarded by cyborg guard dogs that can outrun cars and are packing miniguns. Pizza delivery boys will not allow anything to make their customers wait... because the company they work for is The Mafia and a pizza arriving at any temperature other than "piping hot" means the boy gets a bullet in the back of the head. Messages are passed along by teenage couriers on razor skateboards, and they have enough self-defence gear to break out of an FBI building. Also played with as no matter how violent and scary the world is, it's undeniably cool shit.

While they believe diversity is their greatest strength, with people of all races living in harmony together, any independent personal expression isn't acceptable, deemed subversive and a cause for disunity you will be interrogated over by the Authority, the city's Secret Police who censor culture. Moving outside of the city's bounds or seeking knowledge about the past too is forbidden. They all wear uniform jumpsuits most of the time, and have a very authoritarian culture with ritual submission to their long-deceased founder Gaia, who's treated almost like a god. Particularly defiant dissidents are given Un-person treatment, or "ghosted". They also practice eugenics, as people who have DNA deemed "unfit for reproduction" are also labeled "dissonant" by the government, all babies being tested at birth, and prohibited from having children. The dissonant also get assigned work, usually dangerous things like mining, due to being deemed "expendable" after turning 18. Finally, it turns out that the government has lied for centuries to its people about the outside world being uninhabitable — it actually is, with two other cities, one of which secretly controls them.

In this future, Iceland has been nuked ("because that's where ISIS comes from, obviously"), the dollar's value has collapsed to the point where Trevor eats it as food rather than spending it, women must wear a device on their arm that gives their "hotness" rating (with their rights being determined by their rating), the US government regularly holds yard sales to pay the bills, and comedy has been banned, among other things (and, for some reason Trever's pirate broadcast has ad breaks). All the while, Trevor begs the viewers to go vote in the election. It's just as dark (and ridiculous) as it sounds.

The Baravadans (at least the skahs) feel that they're living in a dystopia and pine for the monster- and combat-filled world of 25+ years ago. They rarely do anything useful, choosing to sit around and wait for something to happen, or to go off chasing the faintest rumors of monsters. Many of them are so bored that they end up killing themselves, and they've long since quit breeding. But Baravada itself is otherwise incredibly pleasant and safe, filled with magic and freedom.

As mentioned, the planet is technologically advanced, and this system is thus designed not simply for Darkseid to glorify himself but also to completely break the spirits of the populace. It works, and though he treats them horribly nearly everyone on the planet would give their life for him, even if they hate him. To make matters even worse, Apokolips is locked in a millenia-old Cold War with its sister planet New Genesis, because Darkseid is an imperialistic warmonger with the ultimate ambition of taking over the entire universe and remaking it in his image... and he has the means to do it. His fondest desire is to eradicate free will and make every living thing everywhere a mindless, miserable automaton who will live and die at his command. This only begins to describe why Apokolips is perhaps the single most horrible place in the entire DCU.

The government officials running said stations are rife with corruption, able to arbitrarily hand down summary judgments, with no courts to make appeals to. The "safety net" for people who find themselves with a fine they can't pay back, even if they liquidate all their assets, is the slums, where people have no rights whatsoever, women routinely getting gang-raped and drugged with highly addictive substances against their will, forced into prostitution, and then abandoned, left in piles of their own waste, and the withdrawal symptoms, when their profitability ends. The alternative is forced labor in a Prison Colony to repay the debt, but prisoners are not segregated by gender, so Prison Rape is an ever-present threat.

The demon king that rules over this world routinely rapes human girls to breed half-human children and set them to fight against each other (the titular Genma Wars) for his own depraved amusement. When the protagonists travel to the past which would be modern times, they find out its not much better than the timeline they lived. The Genma are revealed to have ruled over mankind in this time period as well, though subtly from the shadows masquerading as the media and corrupt government officials. The population's will is crushed under their control and there is a special plaza where people hang themselves to escape from their difficult lives. Not to mention, the special elite that does whatever the hell they want and can get away with running little children in the street if they flash the police with their cards.

The Fire Nation itself is revealed to be this. The people are actually quite friendly but they are ruled by a militaristic regime whose leader is continuing his father's obsession with taking over the world.

The situation was made worse by a combination of a resource crisis, food shortage and the new plague, all of which caused America to go to war with China. Then they start lobbing nukes at each other.

BioShock Infinite has Columbia, a caste-based Confederate's 'utopia', where the ultra-racist Founders lord over a floating city by forcing former prison inmates into back-breaking labor for scraps, and even kill them off for sport. And then the violence gets so bad that the floating city stops working, with everyone either at war or fleeing from purges on both sides.

The state is controlled by a dictator Albin Rappelschlund who governs the country, nominally with support from the rightful ruler Duchess Augusta. The civilization and technology of the country appear advanced, there is metro, satellite transmission, television broadcasting, and flights to the Moon are common; however, this bizarrely contrasts with things like child labour, horse-drawn wagons, rural-like inns in the capital city or State Office for suppressing and annihilating witchcraft. People fear everything and cannot trust one another, so this vision of society is certainly very bleak with very unsettling feel.

Massive megacorps with private armies battle for the control of the world, while (at least in the US) poverty and unemployment are rampant, people die there too for being unable to pay the expensive costs of healthcare, Earth is dying under uncontrolled contamination and spills, criminal gangs are everywhere, and your life is just worth of the cost of the body organs that can be harvested for transplants from your cooling corpse. Oh, and the Middle East is a glassy, nuked wasteland and the stock market is said to be walking in a razor-sharp edge between prosperity and economic meltdown. Cyberpunk RED, in addition to all of this, has the heart of Night City as an irradiated hellhole as the result of an attempt by Johnny Silverhand and his allies to destroy Arasaka that went straight to hell and left a good number of people dead.

Cybertron's Golden Agenote when Cybertron began creating colonies connected by the space bridge network came to a crashing halt when the incredibly virulent Rust Plague began spreading, eventually forcing Cybertron's leader Sentinel Zeta Prime to order the space bridges destroyed in a desperate attempt to prevent Cybertron itself from being infected. Alpha Trion notes that following that horrific sacrifice and loss, it seemed as though life itself had been sucked right out of the Cybertronian race as a whole. Where once experimental wonders like Crystal City were the order of the day, art and culture stagnated to the point some Transformers were being born without names, since they saw nothing to live for. Just about the only thing that seemed to fire Cybertronians up in any way anymore were the highly illegal and violent bloodsports known as gladitorial combat... which is where Megatron came from. Even Orion Pax, the future Optimus Prime, was initially inspired by Megatron's rhetoric that there had to be something more to life than merely existing.

However, there are indications that the world in this series is actually a Dystopia. The courts are unable to deliver justice, because the balance of power leans too heavily towards the defense attorneys, and the prosecutors are lucky if the defendant does not get Off on a Technicality, let alone win a single case. Also, the prosecutors need proof before they charge someone, but strangely, there never seems to be proof to find. On the plus side, if a character gets in legal trouble, s/he can call up a defense attorney and be assured that s/he is perfectly safe. The President of the United States has three men with gold shields at his disposal. These three men have carte blanche, can break laws with impunity, answer only to POTUS, and if they come for you, well, you better pray that they don't kill you! In Las Vegas, the casinos have more security than Homeland Security can ever hope to get! Also, the casinos are monitored by men who will have you beaten up or thrown in jail if you prove to be a threat to the casinos.

Children are born via artificial wombs and indoctrinated by the state to serve in their predetermined roles and taught not to question the state. Nonconformity is viewed harshly and can result in exile. Natural born humans are raised kept in reservations and seen as bizarre oddities by members of the World State.

They choose their mates, who are allowed contact seldom, and all children are raised in creches. Your life position is choosen when you are bred for it, and entails burning out parts of your mind if you are lowly enough. When ships sent out to find more humans to bring them into the fold, they will freely, when problems mount too high, take over part of a planet and let the men run wild with Cold-Blooded Torture and rape to release their aggressions.

These levels are probably the safest part of the hive. The underhive (where the majority of the game is set) is where those exiled from further up the hive go where even the safer districts, protected by vicious gangs loyal to the Clan Houses, are still places where life is nasty, brutish and short and law extends as far as a gun can shoot. Even further downhive, outlaws and mutants fight to the death over a few scraps of food and law has completely broken down. Oh, and the Spire? It's a Decadent Court where the Noble Houses live off the wealth produced by the Clan Houses and cold-bloodedly murder each other for control of the hive, and they look on sending a small band of their kids down to the worst parts of the underhive as a ''training mission''.

Quite possibly the worst component, however, is simply neglect. The fact that many of said vices have physical form, are sentient, and actively working towards the eventual destruction of everything probably doesn't help. Nothing is ever going to get better there. There's a faction of Well Intentioned Extremists who are considered to be naive because of that belief. Given the setting, there's probably a kernel of truth to that.

Women and minorities racial, sexual and otherwise are subjected to serious oppression by the Regime and its supporters, and immigrants are hauled into internment camps for daring to outstay their welcome. The media are controlled, and all forms of communication are used to try to catch would-be resisters; the only hope the five groups that make up the resistance have is The Signal, which gives those that have been attuned to it the power to fight back against the Freedom Fist and the Regime.

In their society, it's true that nobody is poor, homeless, or hungry, they only has to work six hours a day, they can follow any faith they wish, and they have plenty of leisure time. However, communal living is the only option, jobs are a requirement, slavery is practiced as punishment for criminals (although they can be freed for good behavior), their leaders are in power for life, privacy and personal possessions don't exist, you can't travel freely without a passport, and if you have sex before marriage, you can be forbidden from receiving either. And while all faiths are tolerated, atheists are hated due to the ever-present fear that they would have no reason to act moral without a belief in God (although instead of being killed or exiled, they're simply sent to priests to change their mind about their beliefs).

Dystopia / int_dca6d756	comment	Poster Girl by Veronica Roth, takes places in a post collapse USA, specifically a Mega City build in the remains of the Northwest between Seattle and Portland. In a major Perspective Flip it is not told from the perspective of people rebelling against or suffering under the dystopian society but of it`s elite... The main character Sonya Kantor used to be the titular Poster Girl of the Delegation, a tyranical regime ruling the Mega City with an extreme surveilance state. But ten years ago a rebellion brought the system down and since then Sonya and other survivors of the regimes upper class have been locked up in a ghetto called the Aperture by the new government. Presented with a chance to redeem herself Sonya travels through the post dystopian society in search of a missing girl, and is confronted time and time again with just how evil the old Delegation was, and the role her own family played in it...

Dystopia / int_df57aa2a	comment	The LEGO Movie: Bricksburg is a cheerful dystopia taking plenty of influence from Brave New World and Nineteen Eighty-Four where people are distracted via frivolous entertainment from the main antagonist's master plan in gluing everything in place with a superweapon known as the Kragle. Even the acronym of the weapon (TAKOS) has an ominous feel to it when it is simply disguised by the innocent name of 'Taco Tuesday', where people are given free tacos to avoid them catching on. There is constant reminders that you are being watched via billboards and surveillance cameras and people are dragged away for interrogation, imprisonment, torture and even execution if they fail to follow the instructions - you are even told to report someone if you suspect them doing this. For a kids' movie, this is some heavy, dark, frighteningly relevant satire.

Ironically, it's actually one of the safer Bardos-the Party that runs the place treats Geniuses with the proper papers as foreign dignitaries. Often used as a recruitment ground for Beholden, who are all too happy to become slaves to the Genius if it means getting out of there. The Seattle of Tomorrow, a Zeerust vision of an Atomist utopia.

Do you prefer the "Lawless gangland hell, with lots of crumbling infrastructure" flavor? Check out La Mugre (eng. The Dirt). Is the "Bleak communist dictatorship with everything run by the mob" flavored dystopia more your style? The Den has you covered. Or maybe you're more the "Hi-tech cyberpunk dystopia with everything (and everyone) owned, enforced and manipulated by an absurdly powerful MegaCorp" type? Look no further than The Corridor. They were all intentionally orchestrated by The Agency to make Police State look like a reasonable alternative. And then they also screw it up. Twice.

As the story progresses, though, it becomes clear that they're dealing with essentially the same issues we deal with today, just with the volume turned up by technology and increased population. Furthermore, some of the modern world's problems have been defeated; pollution has ceased to be an issue for example, though in Spider's childhood it apparently still was a severe threat. The subversion is further driven home by the protagonist's ultimately optimistic nature. There's even a Christmas special where he explicitly states that things tend to be better in the future.

There's as much garbage as there is crime, which is outright sponsored by the corpos to ensure local communities stay broken. Animals in general have been driven to extinction, and it is illegal for the poor to own pets. Night City is powered by empty promises of wealth and glory, and the only technologies that have been truly innovated by corps over the past 57 years have been new means of brainwashing and controlling the civilians who could never harm them.
