2020: Sci-fi future, past and present

Story line: Reality warps into science fiction of the dystopian kind. 

In 2020 Covid-19 becomes the context to ask questions posed by World Warp III: When will people wake up to what’s happening? How will the sense of urgency to intervene—to collectively reinvent the future— become apparent? The screenplay places us all in dramas of intersecting matrixes of crisis and change. Sci-fi tropes spinning such terms as warps and matrix are used to cultivate auras of hyper-reality around the existential realities of contemporary dramas.

Climate scientist Michael Mann was famously defamed on the basis of falsified content of hacked emails (“Climategate”). Teaming with cartoonist Tom Toles he authored, The Madhouse Effect : How Climate Change Denial Is Threatening Our Planet, Destroying Our Politics, and Driving Us Crazy.
