Mike LaBossiere, writing at Talking Philosophy about dystopian science fiction and Stephenson's Hieroglyph project. While I'm intrigued by Stephenson's project to kickstart "inspirational works infused with optimism", I also find myself curious: Where does the dystopian work come from? Is the genre really dominated by those themes right now? What has motivated so many authors to go down that road? Are we drawn that way as writers (or readers) because of some external force? Or something else?
