I’m going through the old notebook from the past year and found this definition of what makes something dystopian that seems still apt later on:
“An essential underlying recognition of wrongness, multiplied by the familiarity of accumulated errors, oversights, and unkindnesses endured, passed on, and compounded over time.”
Tim B.
wrote later on, and seems connected to dystopian feelings regarding the “vast brooding unhappiness that we have allowed to settle over us.”
