You were taken from this world, and God now speaks to you. God asks you what punishment should be dealt to humanity for their sins. You can pick any fictional or theoretical dystopian scenario, as long as it is truly dystopian. After you’ve made your pick, your memory of the conversation is wiped, and you are brought back to earth to live the rest of your life however it might play out. The future of the world will be hard set in destiny to a future inspired by whatever you picked.
If you had to pick the dystopia to live in, what would it be?
Im gonna guess I don’t get to choose my role in this dystopia if it’s one with a class divide or aliens or somesuch… im gonna ask as a followup if I pick a dystopia based on a piece of media, if the events that occur within it would also occur in this scenario, or is it just dystopia inspired by it, but not necessarily following the events?
As for your role, it is up to fate. The scenarios don’t have to play out exactly as they did in the media.
Damn. Well my first idea was picking Overlord, as that’s definitely a dystopia (constant smog from pollution, extreme work hours etc.) but eventually the main character ends up in a different world (which is still kinda bad tbf, being basically medieval with magic) but I feel like given the circumstances I could end up decently high societally in it… but if there’s no guarantee that entering that other world would happen, then that just straight up sucks :3
Honestly the easiest answer is probably some form of dystopia with a pacified but content general populace, like Fahrenheit 451, though that’s also the “boring” one, as there’s no real gamble for ending up in a higher or less dystopian position
