Deborah PickettI know we’ve got a shitton of corporations naming themselves after the dystopian things in Lord of the Rings, but has anyone cut right to the chase and called their product “Omelas” yet?
Lucas C. Wheeler@futzle They clearly missed the whole point of LOTR. I don't think they'd understand Le Guin even if they did read her. They're the violent, colonizing villains of The Word for World is Forest. They're the capitalist shitheads from The Dispossessed.
The Ones Who Walk Way from Omelas is a super short read and I would say it's definitely worth it. But yeah, it's unsettling.
