Flucht ins 23. Jahrhundert

The world Nolan created feels both terrifying and plausible. I'm curious whether real-world fears influenced this aspect of the story.

The idea of a society that willingly sacrifices its elders is disturbing, but there's a strange beauty in how it's depicted. How did others interpret this ritual?

Considering current debates about individual rights and societal rules, I wonder if the book's themes are more relevant now than when it was written.
