It’s an interesting query on Google Trends. What is more popular? “Utopian” versus “Dystopian”. Why are there more headlines with the word “dystopian” in it? Is it because of the crisis? Are people depressed? And the fact that “dystopian” is more popular than “utopian”, what does this tell us? Will the future of humankind be dystopian?

Ones utopy might be the others dystopy
Yes yes yes.. sure… asking questions never hurts.. except when it’s nonsense. In this case, the movie ‘The Hunger Games’ was announced in 2011, which in the write-up and reviews has the word ‘dystopian’. Nobody ever uses that word, so they have to google it. The peak, let me gues… the launch date of the actual movie?
Nothing to see here, move along..
(btw, the search for Utopia still blows Dystiopia or Dystopian out of the water, apparently that’s what people REALLY are curious about)
