tech dystopia
Silicon Valley's shadow
Tech dystopia describes a nightmarish future—or present—where technology enables oppression, surveillance, dehumanization, or social collapse.
The term draws on fictional warnings like *1984* and *Brave New World* but increasingly describes real concerns: algorithmic control, mass data harvesting, social credit systems, or AI displacing human agency.
Every new privacy scandal feels like another step toward tech dystopia.
