One question: What ist "dystopic"?

It usually refers to "anti-utopia" situations.  "1984" is the seminal
dystopic story.  "Brave New World" and the lesser-known "We" are also in
the same area, along with modern Cyberpunk.

But isn't it usually 'dystopian' rather than 'dystopic'? (after all,
it's 'utopian', not 'utopic'...)

If English has some logical consitancy to it, you'd probably be right :)
