    Not much point commenting on how brutally prophetic this story is, I'll just say something about the irony of all the smug smarties sequestering themselves away in a concrete tomb while their dumbed down charges get to live in Utopia.

    I didn't even know that there was an adaptation of this, what caught my attention was the appearance of some SCTV alums.

    I believe this was done for one of the later revivals of 'The Twilight Zone' TV series.

    I read the story rather than watch the video.


    A quibble... or two.


    a) If he's so smart, why didn't he know that there would be consequences?

    2) Does this mean the law was correct?

    This is one of the nastiest dystopies I have ever watched. Or do we already live in it?
