Depressing sci-fi setting (8)

I believe the answer is:

dystopia

(Other definitions for dystopia that I've seen before include "Imaginary place where all is bad" , "Undesirable place" , "Imaginary place of maximum badness" , "where everything's bad" , "there's no worse place" .)

I've seen this clue in the Universal.
