[FRIAM] The World Turned Upside Down (and what to do about it)

[gⅼеɳ ☣]

Cautionary tales are nothing to be afraid of.  I think this is something completely misunderstood by people who don't watch enough horror movies.  You don't watch The Walking Dead and think "Don't open that door!  Don't open the door!!!!"  You watch it and *know* that if you were there, you'd open the door, too.  The trick is how you would do it and what it means to do it.

I read it three decades ago and it is spooking me out once more because the understory is the normalization of a subversive societal move toward a dystopian fascist state. It's promoted as science fiction, but it's very real and beware-- incredibly hard to watch.  Women in the new society, of course, get the worst of it.  Duh.
