1. I think, the original story is closer to reality than the adapted-for-TV one.

I haven't watched the show, but read the book.

IIRC, in the show there's a resistance against the Nazis. The people are unwilling to accept it.

In the book, it's the new normal. The gigantic, merciless bureaucracy, stuffed with cronies wth bombastic, meaningless titles. The everyday racism. The acceptance that this is just the way things are now.

2. I haven't read the book. I'll have to do so.

3. I would like to watch it but we don't have amazon prime

I guess we will just have to live it instead starting Jan 20th.

4. Yep. Also, a new show on SyFy called Incorporated. It started last week.

The Syfy series Incorporated takes place in the year 2074 in a world ravaged politically, socially, and geographically by climate change. Because governments failed to protect their people from rising seas, giant corporations have seized control of most resources and now control peoples’ lives through economic and cultural coercion. Within this corpocracy, people live in two zones: Red and Green. The green zone is bountiful while the red zone is a nightmare. What divides the two is opportunity and cash (also, air conditioning).

Produced by Ben Affleck and Matt Damon, the show goes out of its way to illustrate the potential consequences of unchecked global warming. But showrunner Ted Humphrey and co-creators David and Alex Pastor, veterans of a few science fiction productions, didn’t want to do this by simply assuming the worst, so they went looking for an expert. They found United Nations Climate Change Advisor Cassie Flynn, a UN Development Program expert on negotiations, adaptation, and technology. https://www.inverse.com/article/24770-incorporated-syfy-climate-change-cassie-flynn-interview

5. Just found an even better one: "Iron Sky"

A low-budget german-finnish sci-fi movie about Space-Nazis from the Moon coming to Earth. One of their officers decides to ignore his orders and to usurp power on Earth by teaming up with a Sarah Palin-like US-President.

(And Julia Dietze is just too cute.)

Got Amazon prime specifically to see this series and found several other good ones as well.

One world-class fiasco deserves another.
