Summary: In this episode, Dan and Rob go through a list more than a dozen dystopias, describing the pros and cons of each and trying to figure out which would be the best one to live in. As you can imagine, this isn't an easy task because the most common element in all of these worlds is that they suck. We briefly define dystopia, but Rob has written a much more in-depth blog series on the topic, which you can find here.
