👉 Fantastic studies, a genre of science fiction, typically inhabit dystopian or near-future environments characterized by oppressive regimes, societal collapse, or advanced technological control. These settings often feature stark contrasts between wealth and poverty, surveillance states, and themes of rebellion or existential crisis. Common examples include totalitarian governments, resource-scarce colonies, or AI-dominated societies, where characters navigate moral ambiguity and resistance against systemic oppression. The environment amplifies the genre’s focus on human resilience, ethical dilemmas, and speculative societal evolution.
