Could it be that SK meant dystopian, and either he or the editor made an error in translating it to the text of the book?

BUT a great mind boggling question that I can almost guarantee has never been ask!!Fair enough; I respect that.
But... Just playing devil's advocate here: If someone got up at a SK talk and asked what the "Dycian Maze" was I would find that a "mind boggling" question myself.
If you ever do get the chance to ask it, you'd better have a copy of the book in your hand in case Steve asks where you found that particular passage. Heck, he might even ask you to come up on stage to let him take a look at it himself. That would be cool!BUT a great mind boggling question that I can almost guarantee has never been ask!!

Hi and welcomeIn the city of Aberdeen, Scotland there is an area called Dyce, a section of town where the airport is built. About 10 or 15 minutes drive south from Dyce one can find Hazelhead Park, where is located Scotland's oldest maze (opened 1935). Dycian Maze? Very close. King capitalizes "Dycian," so it is a proper noun. But this hedge maze is in Hazelhead, not exactly Dyce. Still, I'd call it the best guess I've seen yet.
Who? Who? Who?
