What comes to your mind when you think of a dystopian universe? Is it surrealist landscapes or does it look more like the real world of 'The Handmaidens Tale?' According to the late British academic and cultural theorist Mark Fisher, we're already living in a dystopia, which is both terrifying and boring.
Fisher coined the term 'boring dystopia' in 2015. It refers to the subliminal coercion which abounds in a capitalist society. It's so subtle, in fact, that if you're not looking, you might not realize it's happening. Charlie Booker's Black Mirror is the closest depiction of this theory, with all episodes questioning how far has become too far when it comes to evolving technology.
Nevertheless, for real-life examples of that theory look no further than the sub-Reddit titled 'A Boring Dystopia,' dedicated to sharing images which are disturbingly unassuming. Scroll down below to view the Orwellian thread of signs!
