This is almost the opposite of a dystopia, but I think still fits.
The Dispossessed by Ursula K. Le Guin - A character from a utopia returns to dystopian earth. It's primarily the main character wandering around realizing how terrible things could get on our current trajectory. It's great!
Anarres is a utopia? Don’t tell Shevek that.
But at the end he sees behind the curtain of the “utopia” he grew up in and realizes the truth about it. Hence the title of the book.
