Only two things are infinite, the universe and human stupidity, and I'm not sure about the former.

I would have expected people to go the escapist route in the current situation.
The fool hath said in his heart, There is a God. They are corrupt, they have done abominable works, there is none that doeth good.
Psalm 14, KJV revised edition

I can imagine a certain segment of the population who are cheerleaders for Armageddon might buy a fuckton of apocalyptic fiction of a certain sort.

If you get my meaning.

I'm reading "1984" and will probably pick up "Brave New World".

What's funny is hearing pundits say we're in "uncharted territory" with the fruitcakes currently running the US government. Well, no, we're not.

"Brave new world" present a competent distopia, a distopic world which is technically proficient at being what it is. That would be most certainly not the distopic trump world. A distopic trump world would crush you with both malice and incompetence.

A lobester needs to read about being cracked open and eaten if it were to acquire the proper prospective on why the normal temperature seems hotter than it was.
