A '''dystopian''' future is one where the social problems of today become greater in magnitude, producing a future that is filled with crime, war, and similar evils. A dystopian society may also be imagined as a society where a ruling elite controls the vast majority of wealth and political power while simultaneously disseminating propaganda to the masses to control the lower and middle classes. This ruling elite may be seen as propagating misinformation in order to socially control the citizens. This propaganda is usually revealed in such a manner that the elite are the caretakers and providers of the lower middle class. In many depictions of dystopian societies in fiction, the propaganda- which would be disseminated by an overwhelmingly powerful government (Big Brother) or a totalitarian cabal- would psychologically force the lower classes to believe that they are living in a utopia that represents the culmination and perfection of civilization, where in actuality, crime and bureaucratic corruption is widespread.
