Do we really need more dystopian novels turned into TV shows?

Every 25 years or so, we act like we’re reinventing the same ideas again, or that they’re magically, suddenly relevant to our world in a way they never were before.

(IMHO, books like this or 1984 are great, but resonated most clearly when they were published.)

As long as they don’t fuck up Catcher in the Rye... I’ve heard they’ve been trying to wrestle the permission to do it for years.

You can’t destroy a story that is already bad

It’s not a show, it’s a movie. Been out for about a month. It’s pretty good.

I think the levels of surveillance we see today are just as relevant to 1984 as they were in 1949, when the book was published. In the case of communist regimes (especially the GDR), 1984 became much more relevant decades after it was published. 1984 is still extremely relevant if you look at modern day China.
