"By writing black female protagonists into science fiction, and bringing her acute appraisal of real-world power structures to bear on the imaginary worlds she created, Butler became an early pillar of the subgenre and aesthetic known as Afrofuturism. (Kara Walker cites her as an inspiration; and, as Hilton Als has pointed out, Butler is the “dominant artistic force” in Beyoncé’s visual album “Lemonade.”) In the ongoing contest over which dystopian classic is most applicable to our time, Kellyanne Conway made a strong case for George Orwell’s “Nineteen Eighty-Four” when she used the phrase “alternative facts” and sent the novel to the top of Amazon’s best-seller list. Margaret Atwood’s “The Handmaid’s Tale” also experienced a resurgence in sales, and its TV adaptation on Hulu inspired protest costumes. But for sheer peculiar prescience, Butler’s novel and its sequel may be unmatched."

"The Donner Administration has written off science, but a more immediate threat lurks: a violent movement is being whipped up by a new Presidential candidate, Andrew Steele Jarret, a Texas senator and religious zealot who is running on a platform to “make American great again.”

If Slimjet blocks all adds why AdBlockPlus?

Because ABP has options, such as being to pick certain graphic elements to be blocked, the the Slimjet blocker doesn't offer.

For example, some websites have a page header that's way too intrusive and extends way too far down the screen. With ABP, I can choose the header to be blocked and it disappears. Or, I can click on the Reader View add-on and it instantly strips most of the CSS and JavaScript crap from web pages. Stops autostart video and audio too.

The two blockers co-exist fine.
