Yes Baldipaul,
My thesis is that dystopic science fiction is not something that MIGHT occurr in a distant future. Rather dystopia has already arrived in many nations (Tibet, the Owens Valley of California, etc.).
Even worse is that many nations had too few natural resources to achieve a healthy standard of living.They ever had a chance to climb out of the Stone Age. Traditionally Tibet could barely feed its few people with subsistence agricultural: herding on the Northwestern Plains and farming on what little arable lands could be found in jagged river valleys. Tibet remained backwards until Han Chinese built a railroad to Lhasa. Now Chinese corporations strip-mine Tibet's minerals. Their mining practices leave sterile soils, toxic tailings, scary slag and contaminated ground water. A dozen African countries stagnated at the same stage of development.
