IMO a dyson sphere is not a dystopia. Where is the line?
Is a desert covered in solar more or less a dystopia than the smog clouds that currently engulf LA?

I thought the smog is just dust from the desert. Isn't this why LA skies are so clear after a rainy day?

Smog is sulphur dioxide and other anthropogenic air pollution, mostly from vehicle exhaust and other sources of combustion.

I wasn't challenging what smog is. I was pointing out that LA air quality no longer suffers from smog like it did in the 1970s. Any hazy skies around LA are now more a product of dust in the air and not vehicle emissions.

That smog cloud is from China.
