Dystopia

A dystopia (from the Greek δυσ- and τόπος, alternatively, cacotopia,kakotopia, or simply anti-utopia) is a community or society that is undesirable or frightening. It is translated as "not-good place", an antonym of utopia, a term that was coined by Sir Thomas More and figures as the title of his most well-known work, "Utopia." "Utopia" is the blueprint for an ideal society with no crime or poverty. Dystopian societies appear in many artistic works, particularly in stories set in the future. Some of the most famous examples are 1984 and Brave New World. Dystopias are often characterized by dehumanization,totalitarian governments, environmental disaster, or other characteristics associated with a cataclysmic decline in society. Dystopian societies appear in many subgenres of fiction and are often used to draw attention to real-world issues regarding society, environment, politics, economics, religion, psychology, ethics, science, and/or technology, which if unaddressed could potentially lead to such a dystopia-like condition.

    Dystopia (video game)

    Dystopia is a team-based, objective-driven, first-person shooter video game, developed as a total conversion modification on the Valve Corporation's proprietary Source engine. It is based on the cyberpunk literary (and aesthetic) genre; somewhat based on popular role-playing game Shadowrun, created by an amateur development team and released to the public for free. Its first playable build was released on September 9, 2005, after a year of planning and nine months of development. The first full version of Dystopia, Version 1, was released after 3 years of development on February 25, 2007. The latest version of Dystopia, version 1.4, was released on December 11, 2013, as a direct download from Steam, utilizing Valve's Steamworks framework.

    Dystopia has been received positively from critics, with praise being given for its graphical quality, unique meatspace/cyberspace gameplay, overall polish and its representation of cyberspace. Criticisms of Dystopia were aimed at how inaccessible the game is at first, and its learning curve. The game has won several awards, including Best Mod for Half-Life 2 from the Independent Games Festival's Modding Competition.

    Self Defeating Prophecy

    by: Dystopia

    endless voices
    shattered thoughts that cloud my head
    sleepless nights of agony
    wretched and twitching in a pool of sweat
    searching for the words to say
    babble spills out of my mouth
    starring into space
    i didnt hear what you said
    i wish i could explain whats wrong with me
    why cant i think straight
    im lost because i think to much
    about...
    misery of life
    no esteem from proding eyes
    my confidence mistakes
    scarred to sleep or stay awake
    lifetimes pass in a blink of an eye
    i am dumbfucked
    all my pride sucked
    i fight to gain control
    of what the fututre holds
    but im fucking lost
    because i think to much
    about misery
    of life no esteem from proding eyes
    my confidence mistakes
    scarred to sleep or stay awake
    lifetimes pass in a blink of an eye
    i ambumbfucked
    all my pride sucked
    nails dig into my head
    tossing and turning in my bed
    biting my lips
    blood stained mouth
    need something more to calm me down
    will i end up dead
    or can i digest it all this shit im fed
    endured for so long
    i am suprised that ive made it this far
    in my lifetime
    i watch people waste their lives away
    it makes me sick
    to think i could end up like them
