Dream Example

11.20.18

Aftermath

A society where everyone is given the same opportunity...

Picture this...

Where life is always

"Fair and Equal"...

Where the ordinary are exraordinary...

And where decisions always come with a price...

The Community

The Community

Year

It’s the year 2252, and scientists have made it possible for ordinary humans to receive an injection that can manipulate DNA and give them supernatural abilities.

America

In this futuristic America, the Government’s “Fair and Equal” philosophy gives everyone the right to be remarkable and powerful.

Advanced

With extremely advanced technology, the world has become incredibly progressive. Many jobs have been eliminated due to robotics/technology

Cars can drive themselves, pollution has nearly been eliminated, cancer has been cured, and the average human lifespan has become an estimated 150 years.

Life

There are lower crime rates,the beauty of the natural world has been preserved after solving climate change, and new medical advancements make living a long, healthy life much more possible.

Improvements

The Government

The Government

The Officials

To compliment the "Fair and Equal" philosophy, all government workers are now known collectively as Officials.

This includes: Policemen, Detectives, Governors, Presidents, etc...

The Officials are responsible for protecting and monitoring citizens to maintain peace in the country.

Head Officials

Rather than one President of the United States, there are three American Head Officials.

The Head Officials are voted in by the citizens, and are supposed to represent three different belief systems (sort of like political parties) so that multiple view points are heard/represented.

They make decisions together.

Surveillance

The country is under mass surveillance.

The Officials have cameras, ability sensors, and identification scanners at all high public/traffic areas.

Totalitarian

The Officials want citizens to believe they have lots of freedom and opportunities, but their fierce data collecting and surveillance of citizens (especially those with abilities), keeps them under almost total control.

The Officials have a very close eye on citizens, and disobeying Offical rules/laws has incredibly severe consequences.

The Officials very closely track, monitor, and collect data on every citizen regarding the following information:

  • Occupation
  • Medical History
  • Supernatural Abilities (if any)
  • Money spending
  • Education
  • Technology usage
  • Family history
  • Criminal history
  • Social Media presense
  • Travel history
  • Etc

Other Details

Education

It is required by law that all citizens graduate high school to earn a diploma.

College is also a requirement - with the exception for those who have supernatural abilities. They may choose to opt out of secondary education.

Jobs

If you have any supernatural ability, it is required that you work a job that puts your ability to use.

If you do not choose a job that satisfies the Officials, a new job will be chosen for you.

If you are fired from a job, or it is deemed that a machine could do your job better/more efficiently, you must serve three months at a "Reinvention Center" to better your skills.

Transportation

Besides self-driving cars, new modes of transportation include:

  • Air Trains (Like a faster, more eco-friendly Light Rail)
  • Solo Jets (Planes that can be flown singularly - anyone can own/fly one)
  • Speeder Bikes (Yes, like in Star Wars)

The Flaws

The Flaws

Because nothing is as perfect as it seems

Naturals

Some people (in rare cases) can achieve supernatural abilities without the vaccination.

Although crime rates have dropped significantly, the crime that people are capable of now is much more devastating than when people did not have powers.

Crime

The Officials are hiding the fact that they mistreat many citizens.

Some human experiments are painful, and even kept secret or covered up by the Officials.

Maltreatment

Equality

Even though the country’s philosophy is “Fair and Equal”, complete equality cannot be achieved.

i.e. If a family is not financially stable, they will not be able to afford the vaccination for their child.

Some people may possess "stronger" powers than others

It’s impossible to know everything about everyone’s supernatural abilities.

There are many abilities and levels to each ability that the Officials are unaware of.

Unknown

Fart

In order for the problems in my Dystopia to be solved and for the world to go back to "normal"...

The Officials (The Government) would have to loosen their control on the citizens, and be transparent about what they really are doing (Not lie about how they treat citizens).

One

Two

The supernatural ability booster would have to be taken away.

People would need to accept that not everyone can be perfectly equal in their abilities, and that diversity and differences should be appreciated, not seen as "unfair".

Three

The extreme surveillance by the Officials would need to be eliminated.

No one should be under constant observation, and people need their own right to privacy and making important decisions.
