What do you do when the sky is falling? Or if some unstoppable natural disaster has sent the entire world into political and economic upheaval? Or what if the powers of democracy fail, and the free world tumbles into the abyss of totalitarian rule?
If any of your stories ask those questions, you are writing either a dystopian novel or an apocalyptic novel, but don’t make the mistake of thinking they are the same. They may be similar in some of their tropes and aesthetics, but the core of what makes each genre different is surprisingly unique.
