What is an anti-utopia?

An anti-utopia is a fictional world that presents a negative or cautionary vision of society. Anti-utopias are often characterized by oppressive governments, rigid social hierarchies, and technological dystopias. They are often used to critique real-world problems and trends, and to warn against the dangers of totalitarianism, excessive regulation, or unchecked technological progress.

Some well-known examples of anti-utopias include:

- George Orwell's _Nineteen Eighty-Four_ (1949)

- Aldous Huxley's _Brave New World (1932)_

- Ray Bradbury's _Fahrenheit 451_ (1953)

- Margaret Atwood's _The Handmaid's Tale_ (1985)

Anti-utopias can be found in a variety of genres, including novels, short stories, films, and television shows. They can be entertaining and thought-provoking, and they can offer a valuable perspective on the world around us.
