Whilst Soylent Green is dystopian, I'd consider it scifi as it features food recycling technology and suicide booths. (Edward G Robinson was terminally ill when he shot Soylent Green and died just a few weeks after filming - makes his death scene quite poignant although his co-stars weren't aware of his bladder cancer).
- anonymouskimmer 3y agoThe food recycling is a good point. I didn't see anything scientific or technologically special about the suicide booths.
- ndsipa_pomu 3y agoSuicide booths are a common theme in scifi dystopias though. If they joke about it in Futurama, then that's good enough for me.
