Fair point 👍
Kornbluth's bit in that story where they wake the guy up, saying he's from "back when people were smart" always stuck with me, though...
I'm probably misquoting it (it's been a looooong time since I read it), but the similarities between Marching Morons & Idiocracy struck me as rather strong.
Thanks for that link!
Though, nothing to make one feel old like realizing stuff you read in your youth is now in the public domain 😬
Classic!!
The screenwriters for 'Idiocracy' should be forced to publicly apologize for their shoddy treatment of this masterpiece.
For fans of the movie #Idiocracy, note that #CyrilMKornbluth wrote the story The Marching Morons in 1951...
He was way ahead of his time.
