Many dystopias have been published in the recent months, with different success.
“The Circle“, by Dave Eggers, is a bit too shallow to be worth reading.
“Who owns the future“, by Jaron Lanier gives an interesting discussion about what is information.
Actually, no. It’s about showing that everything is information !
Of course, there’s always Orwell and Huxley to entertain you !
Recently, Spike Jonze’s “Her” was released. It is very cute, pretty and slightly puzzling, but fails to ask relevant questions.
Two films of the late 90’s are still alive an kicking today, and the questions that they arised then are today’s legal questions :
Matrix
Gattaca
