Dystopias are interesting. Especially to me. A dystopia is "socially, morally, and politically terrible" (Via Brainstorm Services); the complete opposite of utopia. The term was coined by Thomas More in his book Utopia, 1516. I once did a paper for English that took place in a dystopia.
So, I was searching 'dystopia' on Google when I found a poem by Robert Gray where he tells of a city where humans are ruining nature, while they are part of nature. Check it out here.

Have you seen the remake of "The Day the Earth Stood Still"? It's all dystopic, set in the right now, and the thing it points out is that we can't see the dystopia that's all around us.
"The tragedy is that they sense their doom, and yet they do nothing about it..."
i used to be more into dystopian stuff when i was younger, then i got all depressed and needed a more positive outlook.
i still love books like 1984 and such, it's good to get an idea on what dystopia can mean in order to avoid it.
happy new year:)
