Imagine a world in which technology is in charge of the world‚ and nobody can live without some form of drug. Dystopian societies are basically the opposite of an utopia.

This can be seen in the need to implement hypnopedia in order to create continuous judgment‚ the need to separate Savages from World State‚ and the need to physically and mentally lower a portion of the population so that the feeling of superiority manifests among its leaders. To begin with‚ all the citizens of World
