The true dystopia is edotopia (edo = here in greek) - huxley: forcing on people to pretend to be happy and calling trolls everyone emitting a critic CHECKED - orwelian: the cloud & IT jargon is so 1984 I will not start on it: CHECKED - PkD: media manipulation and institutional lies: CHECKED - Kafka: well, because of scanners the stamps on my files get erased, and they ask my originals they loose, I will say personal CHECKED (and no Pratchett optimism to save the day) - Gulliver's travel: very underrated scifi dystopian precursor, but CHECKED too. - Vernor Vinge/Heinlein: conservative schlerozed regim where birth gives wealth and power: CHECKED SciFi as a critic of the modern world was born in the XIXth to overcome censorship (Montesquieu, diderot, voltaire, swift). The fact that once again fiction is more critic than intellectuals is a bad sign. The fact that it is obvious unemployment rate are ~25% in OECD (canada and USA included) when you take into consideration all the people that cannot pay for food, rents, heath without social help even when they have a job is WTF. And the fact people think that poverty, corruption is not their problem is really a new dystopia and it's there upon us. Fear edo-dystopia more than mytho-dystopia.
