One good thing in the dystopia is...

I usually don't... ah, who am i kidding? Bumped.

Just so this post won't be completely meaningless: i'd also put up with dystopia if it had zeppelins flying around, for propaganda purposes or somesuch. Everything's better with zeppelins.

Well "Brave New World" had kickass drugs and lots of sex.
"Fahrenheit 451" had cool cars.
"1984" had...uh...flat screen TVs for everyone?

For clarification: the point of this thread is not naming what other dystopias had. Here, i invite you to come up with one benefit that'd make a generic dystopia more livable (if only slightly) to you.

Although the fact that you can't remember what good part 1984 had (you couldn't watch anything worthwhile on those flat screens anyway) is pretty telling about it.

Its really a utopia just with one thing wrong. Hell, a dystopia is the closest we'll ever get to a utopia.

Well I know the world isn't really going to change at all. At least I can take comfort in that.

Ah, I wasn't sure if we were going with a dystopia in the general sense or were sticking primarily to Orwell's 1984 (or other examples). I'm a book nerd.

So in the general sense: I would no longer have to worry about the little things in life due to the soul crushing oppression.

Cats can talk.

I would like talking cats, then I won't be crazy talking to one myself!...right?!
