"British structures and the class system in the UK. That is written in stone, and it's pretty much a place where almost everybody accepts their place in the system because it's wrapped around this nationalistic ideology and mentality. That was absolutely perfect for Children of Men."

I feel like people always want to point to sci-fi of the past as prescient off the future when it's always just reacting to trends the author sees in their present day.

Like 'The Handmaid's Tale'.

That’s what makes *Children of Men* so unsettling 😭 it didn’t need to predict the future, it just paid attention to what was already happening. That’s honestly even scarier.
