Yeah, I agree with the idea of using fiction to get people to consider these kinds of scenarios. I haven't seen the movie, but The Ministry for the Future is a book that tackles the same questions that I highly recommend. What I liked about it is that it takes a systemic view of the problem and does provide plausible solutions. It shows how we can get towards a better world and I found it very inspirational.
Thanks for the recommendation. I'll check it out. The two sound like very different stories in that one is science fiction , one is present day and of course film vs novel but it sounds like they both contribute to the very important ongoing discussion. I do highly recommend the film and feel it even addresses some of the issues you've brought up and is inspirational in its own right.
