    I love the idea but I think the categories can be improved.

    The four axes are future tech, all-powerful government, everyone defending the system and actively participating, and street violence.

    I also didn’t realize until I did this that this 4-way Venn diagram is incomplete. It’s not able to represent the 2-way combinations from opposite sides:

    • Blade Runner = Gattaca + The Lottery
    • V for Vendetta = 1984 + A Clockwork Orange

    Edit: Made some revisions for increased accuracy

      “Of course, the book does not contain any hints on how to win the lottery. It is, rather, a chilling tale of conformity gone mad.”

      “Aww!”

        I am inordinately pleased and proud of myself for how well the different categories work out, for particular works being blended combinations of elemental individual works. 😃

        It’s in there. It’s one of the nigh-unreadable ones, tech + powerful dystopian government + people generally loving and supporting the system.
