<h2><b>What does it mean? </b></h2>

Well according to the dictionaries...

 -it means <em> a futuristic imagined universe, or place , or state, where everything is unpleasant, corrupted, the people are unhappy leading dehumanized and often fearful lives</em>

 -used in medicine, it means <em>an abnormal position of an organ, or a body part</em>, also called "malposition".

<h2><b><em>A little info about the characteristics of a dystopian universe </em></b></h2>

The illusion of a perfect society is maintained trough moral, corporate, bureaucratic, or totalitarian control. Dystopias, in a worst-case scenario, make a criticism about current trends or political system. 

Propaganda is used to control the people, information and freedom are censored, a figurehead or a concept is worshiped, the citizens are always under surveillance, they fear the outside word and conform to uniform expectations. This kind of society is portrait as an illusion of a perfect utopian world.

<h1><b>Origin</b></h1>


The word <em>dystopia</em> , was first used in 1868, by J.S. Mill, coined as the antonym of "utopia", from which it derives.  J.S. Mill  used the word <em>dystopian</em> in one of his Parliamentary Speeches.
