"I wonder why all these societal commentaries feel like society"

Needs to fit in Handmaids Tale here somewhere too.

Oh, don't be so dramatic. We're nowhere near that yet. We're just rapidly spiraling toward it like a disoriented skydiver tangled in the lines of their reserve chute.

Ah yes, the four cornerstones of dystopian fiction: 1984, Brave New World, Idiocracy, and Hunger Games

Only sometimes? How do you make it NOT feel like that?

This diagram would make the same amount of sense if you randomized the titles in it.
Maybe they're already random.

FFS just put on the damn sunglasses.

Those films were supposed to be a warning .... NOT A GUIDE!

I'm in Brazil and I feel this.

I stared at this for a good couple of minutes trying to figure out why the new Captain America movie was in the diagram

Throws in "Flight of the Navigator" to skip forward eight years.

Media is inspired by reality.

No, I'm not 'HERE', I'm in Brazil

Love to see Soylent Green on there. Both in a metaphorically and quickly approaching literal sense.

I would throw in Snow Crash as well

very weak in the subgroupings. There could be 2 axises of dystopia. 1. Autocratic vs chaotic 2. some attempt to mean well vs dystopia by design.

Terry Gilliam's Brazil is a masterpiece. He denies it, but anyone that has seen the movie and really knew Brazil in the eighties knows that movie is absolutely about the country.

Lol not even close lmao 🤣

The “you are here” is where libertarians think they and 0,0 are on a political compass meme
