@ppatel @ReadingTheDots @bookstodon I read it recently, and had to check that it was written late 1990s. Because it feels like it could have been written today. It feels like it is describing the world today.
Which is scary.
@ppatel @SteveClough @bookstodon Yes, very much so. Also, if you check the calendar, the dates match up perfectly with the year 2027. I don't know if that is coincidence or planned. I did notice that though, so I'm thinking Ms. Butler planned that.
@ReadingTheDots @ppatel @bookstodon I think she knew how far in the future she should set it - and she was right.
