That’s actually a really good point. It’s also so much easier to target kids these days because of the amount of time they spend online.kdstrack wrote: ↑24 Aug 2018, 16:42 There are some similarities. It is a controlled society. Big Government runs everything. The holographic advertisements are everywhere. Both have the voice controlled computers. Both reinforce the message that being an individual is bad, uniformity is good. - With movies like this geared toward children, we may have this type of society sooner than we think.

Quite an observation. Most futuristic novels often appear to share some similar themes given the trend of corporations getting stronger and stronger than most governments.Bianka Walter wrote: ↑02 Aug 2018, 12:00 I know that the two stories couldn't be more different, but I couldn't help noticing some big similarities between World Incorporated and the Pixar film Wall-E.
In both, the big corporations take over, and the somewhat mindless people go about their everyday lives without much stimulation.
Did anyone else notice a slight connection between the two? Was there anything else from the book that shared themes from Wall-E?
