The Creepiest Dystopian Thriller You've Never Heard Of
Manage episode 423037094 series 2915813
The early 21st Century is a good time to be thinking about cyberpunk dystopias. Fictional dystopian worlds (and attempted Utopian ones) are interesting thought experiments that have an effect on the populations that read them. 1984 and Brave New World have shaped political discourse in the real world to a substantial degree. But you probably want to be aware of one of the least known and least discussed dystopian novels in recent history. Its obscurity is almost as disturbing as its creepy, all-powerful computer-controlled government. Also, you should be aware of some real-life utopian experiments that have been attempted in the past. Very thought provoking: https://www.honest-broker.com/p/is-silicon-valley-building-universe
