I hope they don't end up reveling in the dystopia rather than accepting that it's the backdrop, not the story. I think The Man in the High Castle rather overdid

I hope they don't end up reveling in the dystopia rather than accepting that it's the backdrop, not the story. I think The Man in the High Castle rather overdid the dystopia-part and suffered for it.
- moomin 9y agoIndeed, the book isn't about Nazis and the show 100% is. Snow Crash is hard to adapt because the author treads a very fine line between the future being a negative judgement on today's values and it being... cool. I imagine they'll go for the cool and leave the eco meta narrative on the cutting room floor.
- mapmap 9y agoAgreed. The Man in the High Castle keeps the main characters going, unlike Game of Thrones, yet each episode leaves me feeling more uncomfortable than GoT's red wedding - which arguably set the modern high water mark for audience distress. Hard to watch.
