Dirty Future Genre
Slick:
So I'm in love with a certain type of movies/tv shows/books, being anything involving a dirty/dark version of the future. I love when it's portraying the future and it's almost gone downhill from now.
Favorites that I'd include in this type would be Firefly (TV), Fallout (Video Games), Day of the Triffids (book, haven't seen the 1962 movie adaptation), The Road Warrior (Movie), or anything post-apocalyptic for that matter. Also Outland (movie) fits with this, and Trigun (TV) and Cowboy Bebop (TV) have been recommended.
So can anyone out there recommend anything else for me? I can't get enough of this stuff, I love post-apocalyptic and gritty futuristic stuff, and I need more!
Ozymandias:
I would actually say that Firefly isn't in that category, it's just the perspective of the characters that it is. That's one of the thing I loved about it, actually. The Alliance (at least in the series) was less the Empire from Star Wars and more the Federation from Star Trek. It's just that you're seeing it from a different perspective.
However, that being neither here nor there, I'd recommend Ghost in the Shell, Planet of the Apes (and Beneath the Planet of the Apes), Blade Runner, A Scanner Darkly (I hope), ummm...
I'll think of more.
Ghostwriter:
Yeah, dystopian future.
William Gibson's Neuromancer (it's a book) is often said to have started the Cyberpunk genre, and it's definitely dystopian fiction. I recommend it.
Also, Firefly is really something awesome, although like Ozymandias said, it's a matter of perspective and politics.
If you haven't seen The Matrix, you should definitely watch it (the original movie, that is).
Sadly I can't think of much else.
Cartilage Head:
Tank Girl (Movie and comics),The Stand (Book and miniseries),Trigun (Television),Blue Gender (Television).
