The recomposition of the world - 2021.


65

Philip K. Dick’s science fiction is characterized by the creation (and destruction) of worlds in conflict. It is therefore part of the 1960s’ culture, marked by social control and the grip of new technologies. But it enhances the opposite figure of the bricoleur who recomposes a world.Between capitalist consumerism and global surveillance, Minority Report anticipates a society obsessed with risk prevention, to the detriment of free will.
