Finished #Kallocain, interesting story. Come to think of it, I’m not sure if it was ever made into an English-language movie. I suppose there might be a Swedish version, but I don’t know that. Definitely a different approach to the main character and their attitude to their dystopian state than one tends to see in books like this. Overlooked classic, should be read more often, especially in the US these days.

I’m reading #Kallocain after having it on the shelf for ??? years - better late than never, and I think it’s the longest tenured unread novel I have. In light of the normal dystopian classics, it’s interesting that the main character starts as an enthusiastic member of the regime, and a technical expert on top of it.

Also the thing where the cop listening devices in bedrooms directly affecting birth rates, which is just fun.

Gestern in Karin Boyes‘ Dystopie „Kallocain“ gelesen.

Ich fühlte mich sehr an den aktuellen Wahlkampf und die dort vorherrschende Migrationsdebatte erinnert.

Skönt att se någon säga det rakt ut för en gång skull.
