Er det ikke interessant, hvordan fiktionen nogle gange beskriver virkeligheden inden den indtræffer? 9/11 optrådte i en roman 20 år før. Her spiller John Cusack  en læge, der har været med til at udvikle en virus i en vaccine, der vil stoppe den menneskelige reproduktion i tre generationer.

Bogen den er bygger på, er fra 2013, serien er fra 2020. Den blev dog stoppet samme år efter otte episoder, hvad man jo godt kan leve sig ind i. Man kan se et uddrag på 13 minutter og et på 40 minutter, hvis man vil have et mere fyldigt indtryk af den. Hele første episode, har jeg også fundet. Læs synopsis nederst.

Utopia is an American science fiction drama television series adapted by Gillian Flynn from the 2013 British original series of the same name. It was released on September 25, 2020, on the Amazon Prime Video streaming service. In November 2020, the series was canceled after one season of eight episodes.

Premise

A group of young adults and a boy get ahold of Utopia, a cult underground comic book, which not only pins them as the target of a shadowy organization, but also burdens them with the dangerous task of saving the world. The titular comic is the conclusion of Dystopia, of which the group members are fans and believe it to contain clairvoyant information about diseases that have already struck the world.

Synopsis

The comic book fans discover a global conspiracy. The comic book contains clues of future events because it is written by one of the architects of a plan designed to prevent ecological disaster as the Earth’s population rises and resources are depleted.

The plan consists of: (1) Convincing the world’s population that there is an outbreak of a deadly new virus, (2) Once convinced of the narrative of the faux-pandemic, announce to the public the creation of a new vaccine. Through the coordination between global elites and non-governmental organizations, governments move quickly to inject the world’s population with this “vaccine”. (4) Once the population is injected, it turns out that the vaccine is designed to sterilize almost all of those people that take it, causing the global population to drop from 7.8 billion to about 500 million, and ushering in a new era of plenty.
