“Nishin. Nishin. Nishin. I turned the word over in my throat like a stone; a prayer I couldn’t add breath to, a world I wasn’t willing to release. It made my lungs heavy, my heart grow light, until the juxtaposition of the two phased into sleep.”

I think it depends, the popularity of it tells us that we fear what might happen in the future, and a lot of these stories have important messages, so sometimes they can really tell us a lot about what could happen, and sometimes they can do the complete opposite, sometimes they can make people loose hope and fear the wrong things and therefore hold us back from progress.

What does the popularity of modern dystopian fiction tell us about the preoccupations of our society?

The popularity of modern dystopian fiction represents how society feels. While some may find hope in the good-ended dystopian novels, others may search for the related topics to ease the effect of pain and sadness from real-life events.

Does it serve a useful cautionary purpose, or does it keep us from trying to imagine a better future?

Modern dystopian fiction is usually set in the future, and the events that led to the world dystopia are the consequences of people’s innovations. Such novels could have different effects on people. For some, dystopian fiction could be presented as a warning about the possible future if modern society and technology do not stop taking action towards the unsustainability and chaos in the world. However, for others, it could be as if they lost hope and more of the depressive view of the current events.

dystopias are interesting and with them, we can see the future or imagine the world in other circumstances. This genre is not bad and all people have their own world of which they could think, The issues which are highlighted in dystopian novels are also turning into reality in our society if those issues are not solved these could cause further problems.

1) Those dystopian fictions give people an idea of what would happen if we will not stop the issue/crisis right now. In crisis of dystopian world our rights can dissapear. To get to the perfect world, people need to go through a lot, sacrifice a lot, sometimes even their lives, for example, wars, slavery, and this world does not seem perfect anymore. Our society wants that perfect world, but it is impossible to get to it without giving something back.
2) If you have a goal, you probably would consider all those things that are stopping you from achieving it, but it does not necessary mean that you need to give up on your goal. In my opinion, it is the same kind of concept, we need to sacrficie something to get to the utopian world one day.

The popularity of dystopian fiction tells us that the imaginary concept in the books is based on the truth that could affect people's rights and so many other things. The dystopian novels becoming more popular means that there are really bad issues that are happening in the world.

Dystopian novels are trying to warn us about the future issues that can happen so we can fix them before the worst-case scenario in the novels can actually become true.

1. This clip is dystopian future
2. It could be seen by how the story is told. It shows the disadvantages the technology does to the people in an extreme way.
3. It shows a future that is involved a lot but the people seem to be really attached to the technology.
It shows the worst-case scenario of what could happen if we continue.
The colors of the video is more dark-colored and has a dark tone to it.

Q1) The reason why dystopian novels are popular, is because they are fiction tales that are based on true events, that have occurred in the past or are still reacuring. Eg, The Handmaid's Tale is based on political regulations that ban women rights.

Q2) The dystopian genre novels act as cautionary tales, as they display the worst case scenario of a an event occurring if humanity does not acknowledge the cause behind the issue. Eg, Wall - E - is a dystopian genre film that warns people regarding the negative impacts of pollution (degraded Earth) and the negative impacts of technology.

1. This clip in my opinion, is meant to show the utopian world, but for me it is a dystopian world.
2. Humans are living their perfect life, they are not doing anything. People are not walking, eating whatever they want, communicating through computers. But for me personally, this clip is a nightmare, people are getting fat because of lack of physical activities, they are wearing same red clothing. Everyone is doing same things every single day.
3. Utopian: computers are cleaning everything, feeding people, all they do is watch movies, eat, and drink.
Dystopian: same clothing, people are getting fat and lazy, are not able to live independently and think for themselves. This society is as dehumanizing and as unpleasant as possible.
