Is NYC all that far off? What a classic.

I have said many times over the years that it is not the end of “Soylent Green” that is prophetic, but rather the beginning. In the beginning the character played by Charlton Heston is flying in a helicopter over a city filled with masses of starving rioters in the streets.

Frank Cara(It's a Wonderful) was prophetic in his 1971 autobiography, from wikipedia of all places.

In his autobiography, written in 1971, Capra expressed his feelings about the shifting film industry:

The winds of change blew through the dream factories of make-believe, tore at its crinoline tatters ... The hedonists, the homosexuals, the hemophiliac bleeding hearts, the God-haters, the quick-buck artists who substituted shock for talent, all cried: "Shake 'em! Rattle 'em! God is dead. Long live pleasure! Nudity? Yea! Wife-swapping? Yea! Liberate the world from prudery. Emancipate our films from morality!" ... Kill for thrill—shock! Shock! To hell with the good in man, Dredge up his evil—shock! Shock!

Back in the 1970s, I read the novel it was based on: Make Room, Make Room! by Harry Harrison.

The novel was set in 1999. There was no soylent green. No scoops. Just a "vastly over-populated" USA of over 300 million. (About what we have now.)

Still, it was a good novel. Depressing, but memorable.

An old man, one of those Times Square prophets, predicts the Biblical apocalypse in 2000. The novel ends after New Year's Eve, no apocalypse. The old man is distraught, because he can't comprehend the world going on for another 1,000 years "Like this?!"

The novel ends with the detective protagonist wandering off into the grimy crowd in Time Square, resigned to his crummy life.

The book “To Serve Man” .... it’s a cook book!

Years ago I walked through Amsterdam at 2 am with trash all over and drunks on the plazas and benches. At 5 am with just a hint of sunlight was walking them again to the train station.

Everything was clean and glittering with water from the sanitation trucks. It was really spooky and reminded me of the movie.

After the progressives take over they can offer free sterilizations or just put it in the water.
