Altered Carbon too: if anything they downplayed its themes of the ridiculousness of bigotry.
Unless they were only going to adapt actual fascists like Campbell, it is impossible to create science fiction without questioning the premises our society is based on. That's sort of the whole point of the genre. If one considers science fiction "woke" that says more about the person watching than it does about the company making Hillbilly Elegy and Cobra Kai and The Crown.

Hell, Black Mirror's entire point is social commentary yet it doesn't feel woke. > questioning the premises our society is based on There's a difference between doing this in a way that also tells a coherent story and one that just forces themes that don't exist into the story. One of those things is woke and the other one is not.
