dystopia

“Civil War” follows a crew of journalists in a near-future dystopia, journeying to the White House to capture the final stages of an insurrection already underway in a country divided.

I bathed in the flood of YA dystopias that followed “The Hunger Games” — some hard-hitting, some comparatively feeble.

That means some powerful Disney man in a high tower gazed down at the smallfolk from their sky-level suite and decided that what we need are further adventures from our favorite depressing dystopia.

Remember, your dystopia and suffering are their heaven and paradise.

But what other word than “dystopia” is there for a world where smart techno-thrillers have been all but erased to make way for bland regurgitations of better movies?
