Gattaca & Never Let Me Go: When Genetics Dictate Your Fate | DYSTOPIA Pt 18 with Allen Stroud

This week, we’re joined by Dr. Allen Stroud, chair of The British Science Fiction Association and sci-fi author, to explore the unsettling world of genetic dystopias. We’ll be diving into Gattaca (1997), a film that explores a future where your genetic makeup determines your entire life, and Never Let Me Go (2010), a haunting tale of cloned children raised for organ harvesting. Together, we’ll analyse the ethical dilemmas, societal implications, and chilling realities of these dystopian worlds where genetics dictate fate. Join us for a deep dive into the dark side of genetic engineering and its potential consequences. Visit our website https://www.journeythroughscifi.com/ Email Us!
