I think dystopian futures are also a reflection of current fears.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Dystopian novels help people process their fears about what the future might look like; further, they usually show that there is always hope, even in the bleakest future.
We are both disturbed and fascinated by visions of bleak futures, predictions of what might come if we as a society aren't careful.
Our fears are an amazing gift of the imagination... a way of glimpsing what might be the future when there's still time to influence how that future will play out.
Most dystopian, classic and contemporary, paints a future world that puts a twist on present society - a future world that could plausibly happen.
I would sum up my fear about the future in one word: boring. And that's my one fear: that everything has happened; nothing exciting or new or interesting is ever going to happen again... the future is just going to be a vast, conforming suburb of the soul.
The beauty of dystopia is that it lets us vicariously experience future worlds - but we still have the power to change our own.
I'm scared of the unknown future.
The future is always a dystopia in movies.
The future is our greatest adversary. We are a very backward-looking society, and as such, we are continually blindsided by the future.
We need not be afraid of the future, for the future will be in our own hands.
