Leave the World Behind

In Episode 12 of Dystopian Fiction Has Been Moved to Current Affairs, Clare and Masha discuss the 2023 Netflix film, Leave the World Behind.

As well as themes of cyber warfare, disinformation, privilege in the apocalypse, fear, and the place of trust, we also look at how to see off a f***load of deer, and whether people are really as dreadful as one of the characters proclaims.

In this episode, we reference the interview with Robert Sapolsky on Leading, the excellent book Citizens by Jon Alexander, and Techno Feudalism: What Killed Capitalism by Yanis Varoufakis.
