These people would immediately interrupt her and take her back to the room. Under the day-to-day torture of those who claim to admire her immensely, the "mistress" gradually turned into a dry and shriveled old woman.

In fact, the "mother" also secretly spread the news to former friends: someone wanted to poison her and turn her into a dead goddess, so that she could be more respected by others. However, her pleas for help were always in vain, and all those who wanted to help her were immediately kicked out of the commune. In the end, she had to stay in the room, playing the organ against the four walls in the air, talking about the misery in her heart and her tragedy.

No matter how hard she tried, it was of no avail. In 1973, "Mother" may have passed away due to taking a lot of arsenic. Dawn City held a funeral for her as a goddess.

After the loss of the "mother", no one could hold the commune together again. The commune is divided! All the members are fighting against each other, completely forgetting the concept of Utopia, the ideal country. They have been at odds in court for a long time, one lawsuit after another, and one cannot help but wonder: is this still one of the most ambitious and successful utopias in human history?

"On the contrary, dystopia is more likely to become a reality for humans than utopia."

In the end, Mei's words are even more thought-provoking.

Chapter 254 The so-called dystopia

Speaking of dystopia, we have to mention the modern British writer Aldous Huxley's "Brave New World". After all, in a sense, this can be said to be the most classic dystopian literature of the twentieth century. far-reaching impact.

That is, this work extensively cites biological and psychological knowledge, and depicts the fictional society of the year 632 of the Ford era, that is, 2532 AD.

This is a society where people are controlled from birth to death. In this so-called "Brave New World", due to the development of social and biological control technology, human beings have been reduced to dolls in the hands of monopoly gene companies and political figures. This domination begins even at the genetic and fetal stage.

This is a society with classes and social division of labor. Human beings are incubated by genetic control and are divided into five classes, which are engaged in social activities of different natures such as labor, labor, creation, and domination. People are accustomed to any job they do, and regard poor living and working conditions and extremely high work intensity as happiness. Therefore, this is a happy society, and this happiness is guaranteed by other measures, such as sleep teaching, hypnotism is widely used to correct people's thinking, and the state also distributes a psychotropic drug called Soma to make people forget unpleasant things. matter.

It is in this "Brave New World" that people lose their personal emotions, lose their love - sex instead of love, and lose the sense of pain, sex, and experiencing danger. The most terrifying thing is that people lose their right to think and lose their creativity.

"...To a certain extent, a dystopian society resembles some cyberpunk worldviews."

And here, Canary can't help but recall the main features of the dystopia told from May include:

On the surface, it appears to be an ideal society that is fair and orderly, free from poverty and disputes, but it is actually under all-round control and only has the appearance of freedom, and human dignity and humanity are denied.

During the purge, the leaders brainwashed the people with propaganda, describing their system as an ideal society, and those who resisted were forcibly sanctioned and excluded from society.

Deprivation of freedom of expression. Prohibition or confiscation of so-called socially harmful publications.

social injustice. Below the socially recognized bourgeoisie, there are impoverished classes and untouchables who are not regarded as human beings.

In order to eradicate the poverty of civil society, the extreme poor are forcibly separated by the social system.

The bourgeoisie living within the social system is controlled by the system based on blood DNA and the like.

Birth control. In order to force population adjustment, citizens' family planning, love affairs, sexual behavior, pregnancy, and childbirth are all controlled by society.

The above-mentioned negative information is completely obscured by ignorant (this sensitive word is really) civilian policy, or the public class takes these drawbacks for granted and naturally accepts them.

"The concept of dystopia is very broad, but the general meaning is to improve the living standard of human beings on the surface, but in essence it hides a weak and empty spiritual world. Possible worldview settings are: loss of human freedom, spread of material waste, and moral decline , democracy is oppressed, the class system is rampant, suicide is rampant, etc..."

At the same time, when Canary and the others are making their first contact with Hakoniwa's locked world, the dystopian demon king, let's shift our perspective.

Speaking of which, as we all know, Hakoten is closely related to the east, west, north and south of the outside world.

For example, the characters of Hakoniwa summoned from the outer universe will appear in the East Zone if they are from East Asia, and those summoned from Western European countries and the Middle East will appear in the West Zone - this is often the case.

In addition, the Southern District is a land of abundance. Since all races are mixed into it, the origin cannot be traced back. Although it is rough, the division of Hakoniwa is probably the same.

In the northern area of ​​the box, the Slavic gods and the past Nordic gods are entrenched here. There are also evil ghosts, Rakshasa, who symbolize bad omens, such as the Asuras and the Yashas.

At this moment, the New Nordic God Group is stationed
