A dystopia is a future where society is oppressed and the illusion of a perfect society are maintained through corporate, bureaucratic, technological, moral, or totalitarian control. Dystopias, through an exaggerated worst-case scenario, make a criticism about a current trend, societal norm, or political system.

Propaganda is used to control people, independence is restricted, someone is worshipped by everyone, everyone is under constant surveillance.

An example of a dystopian society is in “I am Legend”

The cartoon showed here is a dystopian society where everyone in it is enslaved by a powerful being but they don’t know that they’re being enslaved because it’s all they know.
