15 Glimpses Into The Dystopian Side Of Our World

As time goes on, it's becoming increasingly clear that we're living in a dystopia. Sometimes the things society passes off as normal are actually kind of disturbing, and hint to a darker truth about our world. Once in a while, we all stumble across things that look like they belong in George Orwell's 1984. Oddly enough, we don't give them a second thought most of the time, either. We're just so used to seeing them as part of our daily life, and when we come across things like a restaurant with entirely virtual staff, it's not that far out of the ordinary.

From a big corporation taking advantage of late-stage capitalism to citywide mandates of anti-homeless architecture, there are a lot of ways this world can be seen as a dystopia, one that fits right in with some of the infamous fictional societies we see in dystopian literature and films. This is particularly the case on Reddit's /r/ABoringDystopia, where Redditors share some of the most off-putting "normal" finds they come across in real life.
