I've just discovered Transmetropolitan and I'm OBSESSED.

#cyberpunk at its best, I can't believe I never followed up on the name and read through, but...better late than never. 1998 at its finest here:

#journalism
#dystopian
#transhumanist
#revolution
and
#politics

All themes just perfectly written for the world they made here. What beautiful #comics for a world falling down around us right now.


My niece got me into #HungerGamesTrilogy books (she's a smart cookie) years ago. They're not just for #youngadults!

from 2012: #ClimateChange in The #HungerGames

How #dystopian young-adult fiction is tackling the social consequences of #GlobalWarming.

"For those who have remained immune to The Hunger Games’ hype (and that’s just silly—read the books already!), Suzanne Collins’ story revolves around a cruel yearly pageant held in the country of Panem: One boy and one girl from each of 12 “districts” scattered through what used to be the United States are sent to battle to the death in a reality TV competition. Twenty-three will die; one will survive to live a life of luxury. We’re told that the games were instituted by the leaders of the Capitol, which governs Panem, to keep the district residents docile: The forced sacrifice of their children reminds them that they are allowed to live only so that they may provide the Capitol with goods and entertainment, panem et circenses."

People on #Fedi seem to be talking about #dystopian futures right now, but I still maintain the true horror is what is happening right now that somehow gets sidelined, excused, overlooked.
