A dystopia is a place where the world is radically unpleasant, unbalanced and unhappy. Often, one group controls all other groups and abuses their power. Authors often write about dystopian societies in order to shed light on various human rights violations, or to give us the opportunity to think about our current society and how it could/should/might be different if one right were taken away from us or abused.
