A '''dystopia''' is a fictional society that is the antithesis of utopia. A dystopian society is characterised by negative traits the author chooses to illustrate, such as poverty, dictatorship, violence, and/or pollution.
The only trait common to all dystopias is that they are negative and undesirable societies, but many commonalities are found across dystopian societies. In general, dystopias are seen as visions of "dangerous and alienating future societies," often criticizing current trends in culture. It is a culture where the condition of life is "extremely bad," as from deprivation, oppression, or terror.
