Alright here's the part where I help with the creative brainstorming! Because I'm not about to throw out any specific demands without illustrating the great number of directions you could go with it. So here's all the possible meanings of a futuristic dystopia!

1. The setting could be post apocalyptic. However, this only opens up multiple possibilities as to the nature of the apocalypse! This could be:

• Nuclear apocalypse - World War Whatever ended in much of the world being obliterated by nuclear weapons, and the tiny number of survivors are now facing the threat of the resulting extreme climate changes as well as dangerous radiation levels left behind, as well as any residual political agendas that may be haunting their existence.

• Extreme natural disasters - whether volcanos or tsunamis, earthquakes or even an asteroid impact, an "Act of God" could reduce all of the progress of mankind to a much more primal state.

• Epidemic - a severe sickness spread through natural causes or perhaps biochemical warfare, what sorts of symptoms are typical? is it a reanimation (zombie) virus? how much of the population is affected, and how does the rest of humanity react and try to combat it?

• Outside oppressors - okay, to be honest, a robot uprising/alien invasion is much more of a stretch for me, but if you wanna go for it and you think you can make it work, then by all means do so!

2. Somehow more exciting to me are the possibilities offered by the pre-apocalyptic dystopian societies!

• Totalitarian governments - in which the population is heavily oppressed by military presence and basic human rights are often denied. Is there a rebellion movement? In what ways does the government go about indimidating its people?

• Rise in consumerism - the real control belongs to the corporations and the media. Characterized by an acceleration in technological advancements and the availability of such products. What sorts of unseen oppression/population brainwashing is taking place here?

• Anarchic - the government has lost much of its influence and crime rates are through the roof. What caused such a fall and what is the primary motive of those among the main population?

• "Off world" civilizations - they take place anywhere but Earth. In a space station or on another planet (or multiple other planets). What caused the move from Earth? How much of the population left Earth? Was any left behind and was Earth still inhabitable by them? Yeah this is another  extremely open possibility and you can go any direction with it.

Okay I'm gonna be honest here, the possibilities are way too endless for me not to send you to a reference page. Here is a fantastic list of the different types of dystopias you can write about! And since I'm stressing a futuristic dystopia here, I'm gonna stress the use, description of, or at the very least allusion to the possible advancements you want to focus on for the story! New types of gadgets or upgrades to common means of transportation, an increase in scientific influence over the population (whether meant to increase/decrease population or affect genetic advancement), any military or political agendas you want to address, any new problems that have cropped up due to such advancements--so many possibilities I can't possibly list them all! 

It's a really open genre, is what I'm saying here.

Please feel free to come to me if you have any questions about this. I'm much better at outlining these sorts of things when I'm talking to a real person who can help me direct my thoughts a little bit.

And now I'm going to list some sources of inspiration!

This song and this video by Imagine Dragons

Almost anything by deadmau5, but particularly this song

A whole slew of novels like 1984, Brave New World, Fahrenheit 451, Unwind, The Hunger Games, The Giver, and a ton of others that I'm sure lots of people have heard of but haven't read

Movies like Repo Men, V for Vendetta, A.I., The Matrix, The Fifth Element, I Am Legend, Book of Eli, I Robot, etc.

Drawing on history, such as censorship in North Korea and the Soviet Union, the Holocaust, the Dark Ages, the acceleration of technology and the arms race during WW2 and the Cold War, the Industrial Revolution/Digital Revolution, any period of enlightenment (Renaissance, rise in philosophy and scientific inquiry, the Enlightenment that inspired ideas used in the American Revolution and the creation of a republican government), etc!

If you have any questions or advice for me, please don't hesitate to comment/pm me!
