  • Anthony Burgess' "A Clockwork Orange" is one of the most artfully crafted dystopian novels ever penned, rivaled only by Jack Womack's "Random Acts of Senseless Violence." Mac Tonnies

Definition from own experience or research:
ڈسٹوپیائ ناول وہ ناول ھوتا ھے جس میں انسان یا معاشرہ ابدی سکون اور خوشحالی کی بجاے بدحالی انتشار اور تباھی کا شکار ھو جاتا ھے

Example sentence(s):
  • ڈسٹوپیائ کھانیاں یوٹوپیائ کھانیوں کا بالکل الٹ ھوتی ھیں یوٹوپیائ ادب میں ایک مثالی منظم معاشرے کی تصویر پیش کی جاتی ھے جھاں مثالی سیاسی سماجی اور قانونی نظام قاءم ھوتا ھے ڈسٹوپیائ ادب میں اس کے بالکل برعکس ماحول پیش کیا جاتا ھے جھاں لاقانونیت بےانصافی اور تباہکن تناؤ راج کرتے ھیں (Wikipedia content appropriated) - Wikipedia  

Explanation:
اردو زبان میں یوٹوپیا کا ترجمہ یوٹوپیاھی کیا جاتا ھی بعض اوقات تخیلاتی بھی استعمال ھی لیکن ےہ زیادہ راءج نھی ھے اور نہ ھی یوٹوپیا کا صحیح اور جامع معنی بیان کرتا ھے
