    brave new world and 1984 with that big of an intersection

    brazil not inside 1984

    matrix not inside brave new world

    The person that made this might be illiterate

      I mean Brazil is about bizanytine bureaucracy, while 1984 is a dumbasses idea of the Soviet union, while there is some overlap I would argue neither is a subset of the other, if anything Brazil should de the bigger set.

      I do agree it has nothing to do with brave new world or the handmaid’s tale.

    This doesn’t even make any sense from the perspective of being a Venn diagram. Lord of the Flies is the intersection of 1984, A Handmaid’s Tale, and Fahrenheit 451? Soylent Green is the intersection of 1984 and Brave New World? What?

    Fictional media consumption as propaganda is probably one of the most powerful things capitalism has produced to sustain itself.

      It’s a pressure release valve. Yeah this billionaire-owned hollywood-titan released a 9-season series saying rich people are bad. Now consume every hour long episode instead of doing anything about it

    These are just random dystopias from the latter half of the 20th century put into circles. It makes no sense.

    The Matrix is equal parts Brave New World, A Handmaid’s Tale and Fahrenheit 451

      That’s the one I noticed too! I spent way too long wracking my brain trying to find a single similarity between The Matrix and any of those books, and literally all I can think of is that in Brave New World people are born in test tubes and also in The Matrix people are born in little pod things.

      But like, that’s the only similarity I could find, at all! I feel like I must be missing something, because surely there’s at least one other passing similarity somewhere, these stories are all dystopian fiction, after all. Like, statistically there must be other similarities, but I sure can’t think of any!

        Matrix is about people angry about living in an illusory paradise brought to you by the machines, so they go underground. brave new world is about people angry about an illusory paradise brought to you by drugs, so they go to mexico.

        I would put brave new world as the subset, since it adds the idea of eugenics(so I guess in the intersection with gataca) and production of people as commodities, I don’t know we’re that fits.

          Was directed by one of the Monty python guys, and another one stars there. Great movie, mc is an asshole. Living in Latin America I find it very relatable, just today i spent all morning run Ning around in order to get an id, that I already had, but somehow I need a new one.

    I admittedly haven’t read a lot of these, but Soylent Green is about humans literally being turned into food, which I don’t think is an issue yet.

      Everyone knows the core texts of the dystopian fiction are 1984, Fahrenheit 451, brave new world, and a handmaid’s tale.

      Without these texts you cannot begin talking out of your ass about how you know things can get to bad places.

      Certainly don’t talk about more recent speculative fiction, and never mind that many of these authors’ used actual historical examples to inform their fiction about how things could end up, talking about history is boring!

      Now talking about a book you haven’t read, that’s where it’s at. Especially when no one has read it and we can all collectively act like we have from seeing Simpsons and Futurama parodies of them.

      When I first wrote brave new world, it corrected to brace new world, and oh what a world that would be brace-dark-cowboy

        it’s just so bizarre, the groupings are (generously) barely coherent. At best this is like reading tea leaves.

    Look, I like dystopian fiction as much as the next guy, and yes I have used it to radicalize liberals…

    But I’m struggling to figure out how all these venns add up? Did liberals actually read any of these?
