Try this as a writing exercise. Each word is unusual, not well known. Don't feel less than brilliant if you have to look them up. So many are words I have heard and assumed I understood what they mean from the context they were used in. But, that doesn't mean I really understand the word.

The words of the world want to make sentences. - Gaston Bachelard
How can this not inspire you to write? The words are out there, lining up, just waiting for you to put them into sentences to suit. Pick up your pen or put your fingers to the keyboard... just get started making sentences out of all those words.
From the Free Dictionary - Dystopia: an imaginary place where everything is as bad as it can be.
Dystopia is the opposite of a utopia. It's a pretty great word if you're a science fiction fan, like myself. I hadn't heard of it before. Or, at least I didn't remember it. My nephew started playing a new game on his PS3, BioShock. It's a real experience into dystopian societies. Pretty grim in fact. I was looking up more information about the storyline and characters when I came across the word dystopia in a write up about the game. So I had to look up the word. It was self explanatory really but still, I gave into temptation to find out more.
Exploring Dystopia - a forum for science fiction and horror fans. There is an old site too, pretty abandoned and comes with pop up ads and a thick banner on top. But the site itself is pretty cool if you overlook the ad junk. Too bad they didn't keep it up and move it to a different free host.
