Science fiction is the home genre of dystopian literature, and any knowledgeable student of the form can lay out dystopias for you like a car salesman can talk up his floor models:Looking for classic dystopia? Which makes one wonder: Jeez, haven’t any of these followers ever read a dystopian novel? Dystopias can happen regardless, but if you’re aiming for that scenario, you’re more likely to hit it.) Pro tip from a science fiction writer: You don’t want to live in a dystopia. Leave the dystopias to the novelists and leave the fiction on the page.
