Where utopia pictures the perfect society and an ideal world, dystopian literature is more nightmarsih and dark, as it explores political and social structures.
The history of dystopian literature goes way back, beggining with the birth of the term "utopia".
During the Tudor dynaty in England, Sir Thomas More wrote his novel "Utopia" in 1516, where he describes the political organization of the island country of Utopia.
More was clever, as he created the word "utopia" and names within the novel allusions and meaning added to what he was talking about.
