Dystopia: an imagined place or state in which everything is unpleasant or bad, typically a totalitarian or environmentally degraded one.
Example:
Suzanne Collins's The Hunger Games imagines a world that is a total
nightmare of a place, the opposite of a utopia. The totalitarian
government of Panem has complete control of the citizens' lives and
subjects them to horrifying acts of cruelty – that are then televised on
national television! That gives this novel a dystopian flavor.
