ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

Dystopian

Dystopian is a type of story where things are really bad. It's usually set in the future, so it's like a warning of what might happen if we don't make changes. In most dystopian stories, society has gone wrong because of something like pollution, war, disease, or a dangerous government. The people in the story usually have very few rights and are not in control of their own lives. The world can be a scary, dark place where people are unhappy and things are not how they should be. It's a warning to us all not to let the world end up like this!
