DYSTOPIAN DREAMSCAPES AND REAL LIFE NIGHTMARES
How close is our troubled present to the nightmares we once feared?
How do dystopian films and books compare to our present, and what clues do they give about our future?
Privacy International’s Executive Director Gus Hosein led us on a guided tour exploring exploring some of the finest dystopian fiction of our time including A Clockwork Orange, 1984, Minority Report, The Handmaid’s Tale, Black Mirror.
