American dystopia

An American dystopia refers to a fictional or real-world society within the United States characterized by oppressive systems, loss of individual freedoms, social inequality, and pervasive surveillance or control. It's a cautionary vision of how technological advances, political corruption, or social issues might lead to a future where personal autonomy and democratic values are compromised. These stories often serve as warnings, exploring themes like government overreach, corporate dominance, environmental decline, and social unrest, encouraging reflection on current trends to prevent such undesirable futures.
