What is a Dystopia? A utopia gone sour. Utopia is a perfect world... so Dystopia? Not so great.
We put together a list of dystopian fiction a couple of years ago – but there’s so many more books out there now.
Dystopias are often the result of an apocalyptic event. They usually have an oppressive ruling elite, and technology-gone-bad or the misuse of technology.
The hero / heroine is usually temperamentally/ idealistically opposed to the ruling society, not understanding the rules. Or rebelling against them when the hidden truth is revealed.
