Tenth of December by George Saunders

There’s a careful balance between dystopian despair for our advertising-obsessed society (a hobbyhorse of Saunders’ to be sure) and cautious moments of unexpected triumph, or if not triumph, at least partial redemption, that creates a lovely tapestry of sad but fulfilling stories concerning real, and real weird, characters in this compilation of short stories.

Loved it as a kid, thought it was dumb in my 20s, now I’ve come back around on this classic sci-fi emo thriller, not only did it inspire a whole raft of culture in its wake, it’s honestly pretty inspiring and touching.

Both the sci-fi elements and the scientist characters are really fun and involving in this carl sagan book adaptation - but on the other hand the love interest is really annoying and the movie should’ve been 30 minutes shorter.
