I think additinonally, conversely, dystopian fiction is reflective of political attitudes - if you're in a repressive country and want to criticise the government, then you can write a fictional work criticising some other government - examples include "Memoirs found in a bathtub" by Stanislaw Lem and "We" by Zamyatin.
