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 at 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 with the community at "A Boring Dystopia," where Redditors share some of the most off-putting "normal" finds they come across in real life.
