EXPLORING DYSTOPIA
Topic: Literature 2:22 pm EST, Dec 17, 2003

"Christianity without tears - that's what soma is."

Mustapha Mond, _Brave New World_

---

I love dystopias. I've read a large proportion of the dystopian novels they list(and plenty they don't list that they should), and seen about half of the movies.

Unfortunately the whole idea of what makes up a dystopia is hazy. I'm reading Perdido Street Station right now, which is somewhat dystopian, but is there any real social analogy to giant soul-sucking moths? Well, there's TV, I suppose. But I digress.

Anyway, this site is a great resource.

"Hipsters, flipsters, and finger-poppin' daddies,
Knock me your lobes,
I came to lay Ceasar out,
Not to hip you to him. "
