For a mini-premonition of the BIG collaboration video dropping this weekend on the Science Fiction channel Obviously the movie is a big "YES" But did Verhoeven even read the book? πŸ”—πŸ‘‡πŸ‘‡πŸ‘‡πŸ‘‡πŸ‘‡ LINK amzn.to/4oFjhqd

It depends on whether we're discussing the book or the movie. The book is not. It's authoritarian, but it isn't fascist. The movie is explicitly fascist, the director stated as much. In either case, I think I know the creators involved on this, and it's going to be great!

I remember reading somewhere on the internet that he said he deliberately didn't read the book.
