Great world building and characterisation. Margaret Atwood creates characters that are complex, not purely good nor purely bad but motivated by their experiences and perceieved truths. (0 more)
Intense in all the right ways
Maragaret Atwood is a superb writer, with fleshed out concepts that on the surface are dystopic but are mirrored in current society. This book is intense and emotive, as is its recent television adaption, highly recommended to those that can handle intense and adult themes.

An intelligent film about how the media is a propaganda machine
As a journalist, this German movie is a dream. It's all about quality programming, stopping mindless TV sucking out the life of viewers and finally watching some quality and meaningful television. Obviously there are conspiracy theories throughout the film, in which the TV personality hijacks the broadcasting schedule to stop politicians dumbing down the populace. But what film doesn't have a bit of action and adventure?
