Marxism-Springsteenism: Battle Royale

1 tim 51 min•19 november 2023

Om avsnittet

History may have gone entirely differently, but the music of Bruce Springsteen is eternal...

Today we explore the alt-history dystopia of Koushun Takami's, 1999 novel, "Battle Royale." This one's a little more intense than Fortnite.

What does "successful fascism" look like? Why is the genre of kids murdering each other so lucrative? Will Koushun Takami ever write a second novel?
