Dystopian texts often carry a dark
mysterious message, they make us
ponder on the idea if we can make the
world a better place? Can you even

controlled. How would you feel?
Knowing that your every decision
was made for you and that you

different view, as they show little hope
and most definitely do not show a better
future for their community. Even the
slightest amount of hope may not be
enough to defeat the control of one
society.
