Great book so far. A virus makes animals fatal to eat, so of course there could only be 1 solution, systematically breeding and eating people. I know it's another reality/universe but the main character remembers eating animals as a child. That means people went from normal to completely evil in 1 generation. By the time the man is grown, he lives in a world where everyone acts like a psychopath, trying to normalize it. It's like in one person's lifetime, everyone lost their souls to the point where empathy was practically illegal. If the world in this writer's mind changed that fast, I wonder what a sequel 100 years into the future would look like...
Considering that the US is about 30 days away from the hunger games, this sounds more like a prophecy than a fiction book.
I just noticed you posted this comment exactly 30 days before the new movie is released...Was that intentional?
I had no idea there was even a new one coming out—I’m not really a fan of the series. I meant it more in the metaphorical way—that the US is 30 days away from forcing the poor to kill each other for the entertainment of the billlionaires.
We all know it wouldn’t be called the hunger games though. It would probably be called The Big Beautiful America 250 Make Combat Great Oh Say Can You See Third Term Trump UFC Red White Blue And Gold Extravaganza.
They are starting to legalize putting homeless people in labor camps. I don't think things could possibly be worse. I realize that obviously they could but the path that we are on couldn't be more reprehensibly disgusting.
The newest Hunger Games was also good.
