Dystopia

Unlike idyllic utopias, a Dystopia is an imagined timeline where something has gone terribly wrong. In these manga, invasive, totalitarian governments might rule the populace with an iron fist and use fear as a controlling mechanism. Sentient machines, ethics violations, forced population control and corrupt justice systems are common Dystopian themes. Some Dystopias might appear to be utopias, but once you look beneath the surface, terrible secrets are exposed.
