dystopian
Dystopian refers to a type of genre, often in literature or film, that portrays a terrifying or grim future where society is repressed, controlled, or in a state of collapse. This narrative often serves as a warning or critique of current societal trends, systems, or structures. It typically involves settings such as totalitarian governments, post-apocalyptic world, and high-tech surveillance societies. It is the opposite of a utopia, which is an idealized vision of the future.
