Often the best forms of dystopian fiction comment on contemporary events and situations, to warn us about our current social status quo. Yet at times, reality catches up to dystopia, to the point that dystopia is no longer a satire of the real world. It has transcended our satirical imaginations to become our undesirable reality.
