My daughter’s eight grade English class taught two months of horror literature, followed by three months of dystopia, followed by another six weeks of Holocaust literature. For some strange reason, she was rather depressed that year.
A lot of popular literature and movies from the past telling stories of a hellish future aren’t as far fetched any longer. Pretty soon we can have replicants created to live among us like in Bladerunner. You won’t know who’s human and who isn’t. For my money this President isn’t human or the Coronavirus would’ve gotten to him by now

Dystopian novels are maybe now beginning to be understood. And taken seriously.

I read 1984 as soon as Don the Con got elected. Then I read many others. It is all spot on. Vote!
