A ceci je répondrai par les 2 premiers commentaires de l'article:
"Dystopian Science Fiction is less about Science and more about how Human Beings misuse Science."
et aussi:
"Don't stop writing Dystopian Science Fiction.
Mankind's darker side has always been our worst enemy."

The news is bleak. With Ebola on U.S. soil, we are one infected monkey away from the plot of Outbreak. Russia is threatening to invade the Ukraine. We are blowing things up in Iraq again, where starving children are being massacred. There is overpopulation, and climate change; there is peak oil; there is a truly alarming spike in the diagnosis of autism. We are a society faced with many problems. Things, to put it mildly, could be better. Technology, for its natural inclination toward radical change, is perhaps the only thing that can make them better in a major, scalable way. But in the 21st Century, the average American is overwhelmingly afraid of artificial intelligence, NASA has abandoned its shuttle program, and the tech industry is the new darling villain of journalists across the nation. While innovation has improved our lives in almost every way imaginable, people are more frightened of the future than they have ever been. And after Battlestar Galactica, can you really blame them?

Effectivement, j'aime aussi le premier commentaire : « Dystopian Science Fiction is less about Science and more about how Human Beings misuse Science. So, no. Don't stop writing Dystopian Science Fiction. Mankind's darker side has always been our worst enemy. ».
Par contre, à part 1984 et Minority Report (cité tous 2 à tord et à travers), j'ai pas toujours l'impression que le "quidam" voit les dystopies comme une "sonnette d'alarme", mais plus comme un "conte de fée" ('fin sans le côté féerique, l'expression "fairy tale" est peut-être plus juste), assez loin de ses priorités quotidiennes.
