Week 14: Satire and Sci-Fi

This week's final theme was Satire and Sci-Fi and I listened to "The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy". It was interesting because I usually just read either short stories or novels, but this time I was able to experience a radio show version. After listening to part of it I realized that the author had a very dark vision of what the future may hold. It was however dark humor because part of it were actually comical. It's obvious we are having a lot of issues with climate change and the slow but inevitable destruction of earth, including war, deforestation, and uncontrollable acts of nature. We may not necessarily be headed toward the future that is described to us in The Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy, but it is possible that this was a warning of some sort or a wake up call telling us we all need to take better care of our planet.
