RE: It is now 85 seconds to midnight.

I've read the book. I would suggest bot wasting your time on it.

All media is a reflection on our humanity, particularly in times like we exist in at the present moment, even if it was written, filmed, produced in another time.

Different parts become relevant. Obscure details jump out. There is no underlying empathy in the biological cycles of our species. Our animalistic nature is ever present, just below the surface.

It is good to leave the house though. :)
