(ok, right up front, ik you hate double posting, but I checked, and technically, as it isn't spam, and it's been much greater than 48 hours, I'm technically in the clear :P)
Heeey, how's it goin? Just thought of another book to rip o- I mean another idea for a dystopia! ^^; this book I came across I find really interesting; it's a little old (I think from like the seventies or something) but it sounds really really cool. It's called "Hellstrom's Hive" by Frank Herbert (the dude who wrote the "Dune" books, also good ones to rip off- mean steal ideas from- I mean "borrow concepts off of" ^_^; ). Its about like insect-humans or something. It's really awesome, you should totally check it out ^_^.
Edit: some links for more specific ideas:

Happy dystopias!
Edit2: ok last addition then I promise I'll stop. This i's taken word for word from the back of the book:
The all-powerful secret government agency want Dr. Hellstrom's Project 40. But it also knew that Hellstrom was dangerous. Any move to investigate his hidden farm must be very carefully made.
A team of operatives was sent to invade a world of insect-humans more fearful than even the agency's chief suspected. A world where specially-bred scientists with huge heads and stunted legs developed weapons that hummed with insect venom...chemically neutered workers with a sting that could poison the entire world...hidden tunnels immune to atomic fission...hormones for hyped-up sex orgies...and the vats in which everyone finally ended to nourish future generations of human insects.

The most dangerous phrase ever uttered in all of minecraftia: "/give honeydew 46 64"
Imaginato disciplinis cognoscere modum; sciam quid et ingenii?
My learning and imagination know no bounds; why should my knowledge and abilities?

Alchemy: [from the Moon to] Scorpio to man to eagle to the phoenix (female) [to the sun] back to Her consciousness outside the box she created.
