Africa&#x27;s population was brought up because many dystopian novels&#x2F;stories have an upper class (like 0.01%) who&#x27;s rights are incredibly restricted but rewarded with resources&#x2F;privileges where as the vast majority of the population can mostly do whatever they like but are given nothing. 1984 is a great example... there are many more examples. ie poverty and&#x2F;or living off the grid = freedom.<p>I guess when I read dystopian like things where this is the case I&#x27;m always begging the question... why don&#x27;t the characters just move out of the restricted society (in some cases the story answers that but in many its not).
