Dystopia+All+Around+Us

I know that we have a page concerning existentialism around us, so I figured that I'd start up a page concerning the modern artforms (like cinema, literature, video games, etc.) of today that involve dystopian concepts. I'll start us off with the following:

V For Vendetta (Film) A movie that pays homage to the events of November 5th, 1605, involving the capture of Guy Fawkes in the Gunpowder Treason plot. Set in a not-too-distant-in-the-future London, a totalitaran government constantly monitors and terrorizes its citizens. A hero, named V, seeks to enlighten the masses and stir them into a revolt against their oppressors.

Idiocracy (Film) In a secret military experiment, a man named Joe Bowers, who is average in every way imaginable, is accidently frozen until the year 2505, when the course of evolution has backfired into a dystopia run by people with IQ's far below average. Being the smartest man in the world now, Joe must find his way back home.

Mirror's Edge (Video Game)

When a government has been given so much power that they can monitor all of its citizens and their communication. and a failed rebellion has left a city sterilized, an elite group known as Runners work to convey messages that are to be unseen by the government's eyes. With an entire city as a pathway, and countless government agents seeking to kill the Runners, getting a message across is harder than you think. media type="youtube" key="zw2IWozRQWg" height="295" width="480"

Aeon Flux

Set in a textbook dystopian future, where the government provides a "paradise" for the people, a group that knows what life was like before their oppression seeks rebellion. When one of their agents, Aeon, finds out that her sister has been taken away and deemed "nonexistent", she is given the assignment to eliminate their technocratic leader.
