Introduction to Suffixes in Dystopian Context
In the year 2150, society has undergone drastic transformations. The once vibrant cities are now marked by a persistent gloom, haunted by the remnants of technological innovation and human ambition. Amidst this bleak landscape, a new order has emerged, characterized by strict regulations and a loss of personal freedom. Citizens often reflect on the changes with feelings of loneliness and disappointment, yet they adapt with resilience. The collapse of environmental conditions and societal structures led to a series of developments, many rooted in the desire for control and stability.
