In short, DYSTOPIA is a series of comic short stories about the dark future that may be coming, or the one that is already here. These books will contain science fiction, cyberpunk, horror, current political subjects and other stories that fit into the concept.

We want these stories to move their readers and we want them to matter. To warn us and help us chose a better future for ourselves.
