Explanation:

society can be frightening for many reasons, and generally has one or more of the following problems: a corrupt and/or totalitarian government, dehumanization due to technological advances, environmental disasters, eradication of the family, cultish religions, limited resources, and unchecked violence. Dystopias therefore usually have an abundance of human misery, though in some cases there are phenomena at work to make people believe they are not miserable (which is perhaps even more horrifying).
