Question

Dystopias create 'worst case scenarios' out of current social, governmental, or technological trends. Based on our readings in class, these stories do this in order to:


Show how great a dystopian society really is


Offer criticism on the dystopia itself


Show us a new dystopian ideal world


Give us ideas on how we should run things.

Answer 1

B. Dystopias are not ideal, great, or good ideas on how we should run things now. Because they are the worst case scenario, and often have major flaws, the stories are used to point out those flaws.
