New Yorker: Radical Pessimism Dominates Literature - Dystopian Fiction and Films

The New Yorker Magazine features an article on the recent history of dystopian fiction, and its not a pretty sight. Modern dystopian literature is untrusting, lonely, sullen, helpless, and hopeless — unlike the older stuff. We also do a spread-sheet analysis on box office receipts on dystopian films, and find an exponential rise in just 20 years. What is happening to the post-modern world? The worse the news gets in the world, however, the better our news!

This program includes:

1. Generations with Kevin Swanson

2. The World View in 5 Minutes with Adam McManus (President Trump Speaks to Faith and Freedom Coalition, Britain’s Conservative Party Loses Ground in Election, Bob Dylan Holds to Both Testaments)
