IT’S A PERIOD MOVIE!

Well, sort of. The book was written in the 1950s and set in the future. Instead of setting the film in, say, an alternate-reality 1960s, however, this movie is set in an alternate-reality 2016 which apparently has weird combination of retro clothing and modern conveniences like computers and cell phones.

Anyway, I'm seeing a screening of the movie tonight. Should be interesting.

I’m wondering if they did that on purpose....to show us all where we are headed.

Those of us who read the book will understand. Those who didn’t can hopefully learn something......then read the book!
