Dystopian Internet is the nightmare of a web gone rogue, where the ideal of a new ethos has been trampled on. Narratives about the internet abound. Most are positive, even utopian. The internet brings about a new form of society: open, transparent, egalitarian. Its counterpart is completely antithetical. A dystopian view of the web presents it as a dark and shady frontier — an untamed space full of violence and crime. Sometimes even the internet of things, with its possibility of complete interconnectedness, can seem menacing in its capacity to make us lose control over our lives.
