i like that word "dystopic".
i wonder what the word will be when it is NO LONGER a hypothetical projection for a dreadful world.

Truth is for a quite significant portion of the world, the dystopian is a reality, not a projection.
Those that scoff at dystopian projections, the majority be in the vast middleclass that live divorced in mind of the other realities of THIS world.

When The Great Dreadful World of the Great Depression hit and The Afro-American witnessed the nouveau horror of the white-middle class being swept under by events Studs Terkel reported that the afro-american said now the white middle class is just experiencing what has always been our reality.

It will be interesting to see and i do expect to see it, yes i do, be it Alphavillian or Orwellian 84ish or MadMaxian or Terry Gilliamesque, or a hodge podge of all those, i do see the word Dystopian, as used in the comfy Middle and Upperclass manner (of representing only FANTASY), becoming a realidad for them--- Sisyphus will lie crushed under his boulder.
