  • Summary

  • In Episode 29 of Dystopian Fiction Has Been Moved to Current Affairs, Masha and Clare are discussing the 2011 film In Time, and its concept of 'Darwinian Capitalism'.

    We look at the metaphor of 'time is money' as made literal in the film. We look at the nature of wealth disparity and how wealth redistribution functions as a step within systemic change. We discuss the ethics of Will and Sylvia's 'Robin Hood' tactics and the theme of billionaires' wealth as 'stolen' money/time. We talk about immortality and eternal youth, within a in which most must die so that some may live. And we critique the premise that constantly running is the better way to live.
