What is dystopia and why is it linked to technology, and the online age?
Dystopia is an imagined place or state in which everything is unpleasant or bad, typically a
totalitarian or environmentally degraded one.
Technological innovation is arguably the greatest agent of change in the modern world.
Progress in science and technology always evokes hope and fear in society. Science fiction, by
combining the rigour of science with the imagination of fiction, plays a big role in expressing
these feelings.
Popular elements of a dystopian theme is:
- Citizens live under harsh control of a corporation/ technology
- The truth about the world is kept a secret so audience doesn't really know what
happened
- Story takes place after an apocalyptic event
- Illusion of a utopia is kept up using propaganda to cover up bad situation
- The main character questions the goodness of corporation
Common themes:
- Danger of technology - technology takes over the world
- Importance of knowledge and truth
Examples:
For example, in the film Mad Max: Fury
Road. Years after the collapse of
civilization, the evil Immortan Joe
enslaves apocalypse survivors inside the
desert fortress the Citadel. When the
warrior Imperator Furiosa leads his five
wives in a daring escape, she forges an
alliance with Max, a loner and former
captive. Fortified in the massive,
armored truck the War Rig, they try to
outrun the ruthless warlord and his
henchmen in a deadly high-speed chase
through the Wasteland. They live in a
post apocalyptic world where it is ruled
by am evil man and there is scarce
resources for everyone to live and survive. This is a dystopian theme.
Another example is the film Wall E
(2008) WALL-E is the last robot left on
Earth. He spends his days tidying up
the planet, one piece of garbage at a
time. But during 700 years, WALL-E
has developed a personality, and he's
more than a little lonely. Then he spots
EVE a sleek and shapely probe sent
back to Earth on a scanning mission.
Smitten WALL-E embarks on his
greatest adventure yet when he follows
EVE across the galaxy. This is also
has a dystopian theme as he is the last
survivor on earth even though he is a
robot, this means that something terrible must of happen and humans either died or had to
escape. It takes place in the year 2805 and the earth is just an abandoned wasteland.

Dystopian themes

  • 1. What is dystopia and why is it linked to technology, and the online age? Dystopia is an imagined place or state in which everything is unpleasant or bad, typically a totalitarian or environmentally degraded one. Technological innovation is arguably the greatest agent of change in the modern world. Progress in science and technology always evokes hope and fear in society. Science fiction, by combining the rigour of science with the imagination of fiction, plays a big role in expressing these feelings. Popular elements of a dystopian theme is: - Citizens live under harsh control of a corporation/ technology - The truth about the world is kept a secret so audience doesn't really know what happened - Story takes place after an apocalyptic event - Illusion of a utopia is kept up using propaganda to cover up bad situation - The main character questions the goodness of corporation Common themes: - Danger of technology - technology takes over the world - Importance of knowledge and truth Examples: For example, in the film Mad Max: Fury Road. Years after the collapse of civilization, the evil Immortan Joe enslaves apocalypse survivors inside the desert fortress the Citadel. When the warrior Imperator Furiosa leads his five wives in a daring escape, she forges an alliance with Max, a loner and former captive. Fortified in the massive, armored truck the War Rig, they try to outrun the ruthless warlord and his henchmen in a deadly high-speed chase through the Wasteland.
