About this listen

This week on Dystopedia, we’re going back to 1948 to look at Shirley Jackson’s chilling short story, The Lottery. It’s deceptively simple, and that might be the scariest thing about it. A tale about tradition, obedience, and the quiet horror of just following the rules. It’s uncomfortable, unsettling, and leaves you wondering what we’re all capable of under the right circumstances. We’ll dive into Cold War paranoia, women’s inequality, human psychology, and the disturbing comfort of just doing what we’re told.
