YES THIS! I've been saying over and over since 2016 - I read almost exclusively dystopic sci-fi and many books have a point where the reader thinks "run this is getting too bad it is the time to go". I'm thinking specifically when June has no money in her bank account (yes it's a tinge too late even then). So I've been trying to figure out when that point in our story will be and last year decided it is id Trump is elected again. We are a lost country and evil has won at that point.

Similar feelings when you read books set in 1930s Europe.

I've been using the term "pre-dystopia" to describe life right now.

Ooh what about pretopia and it can go either way? Regardless I hear you.

An armageddon half full kinda guy, I see. I like that.

That sounds really like a prequel to Zootipia, and while I would love to see a movie about the childhood of Judy Hopps, it doesn't really sound like the bad thing it's supposed to be.

I’m going to start using this.
