Dystopia? What is it?

A dystopia (from the Ancient Greek δυσ-: bad-, ill- and τόπος: place, landscape) alternatively, cacotopia,[1], or anti-utopia) is a vision, of an often futuristic society, which has developed into a negative Version of Utopia. A Dystopia is often characterized by a authoritarian or totalitarian form of government. It often features different kinds of repressive social control systems, a lack or total absence of individual freedoms and expressions and a state of constant warfare or violence.
