We once read a book called "Feed" in high school - a ham fisted anti-capitalist book. Wherein citizens are 100% connected to an internet like service that only exists to sell them products. 90% of the class couldnt get it. Even when the teacher sat down and explained the entire plot of the book they still couldnt wrap their head around it.
Is this a case of poor reading skills or is it just that the capitalist realism is so embedded in those kids they can’t even see the forest for the trees
