Prophecies in Print: When the lines between fiction and reality blur.

This episode explores how dystopian fiction has found a haunting resonance in today’s world... tracing its ties to extreme capitalism, widening social inequity, economic volatility, environmental collapse, and the rise of extremist ideologies. Has dystopia stopped being a distant warning and become our lived reality? We examine what forces have shaped this landscape, how eerily it mirrors the worlds once confined to fiction, and whether we still have the power, or the time, to change course. What hope remains for us now?
