Origin:
The term "dystopia" was first coined by the British philosopher John Stuart Mill in 1868 in his work "On Liberty." Mill used the term to describe a hypothetical society that had sacrificed individual freedom and autonomy in the pursuit of a perceived greater good.
Over time, the term "dystopia" came to be used more broadly to describe any fictional society that depicted the negative consequences of unchecked government power, technological advancements, or social control. Some of the most famous dystopian works in literature include:
