Are you saying that life imitates art? What about our collective human nature under capitalism? Wouldn’t that in itself bring out the worst in us? Here we are though. I guess how we got here is up for debate. I’m sure it’s all melding shades of grey.
But yes, it’s a collection of things, and art pulls from different parts of it, or on this topic, from different aspects of the directions we’re heading. Our future (present?) isn’t Brave New World or 1984 or Solyent Green, it’s a mix of all of those messages. Because we didn’t listen, or didn’t take it seriously enough. Maybe because it’s “just” scifi and that never happens. Until it does.
