So with the fact that they’ve done The Matrix Trilogy, and they did Jupiter Ascending about the adrenochrome and gene splicing I would say they are definitely privy to the wrong crowd.
Just remember, like Aldous Huxley, or Plato even, some of these works of fiction are not George Orwell warning people, these Huxlian Platonic types are cheering on these new world. Some of these people want this future. The Wackoski brothers are pro-transhumanism obviously.
So just remember sometimes what you think is an awesome critique of the world is sometimes unironically cheering on the dystopian future.
But that doesn’t mean we can’t or shouldn’t learn something from it.
Right. I think Orwell was warning, Huxley was cheering.
On the inside in a bad way or good way?
a great insight - its easy to be enthralled by the 'world building' if these authors and others like them but make sure theyre not using it to sell you a bad lesson or morality
