*Triple J Hack ‘what will 2045 look like?’ intro plays*
Welcome! I’m Triple J’s finest hack host Alysha and today we will take a glance at two dystopian fictions called ‘Feed’ which is the novel and ‘I Am Legend’ the movie which both carry cannibalistic zombies as we explore on how tales of these fictions may be what we could possibly face in the long run. Tune in to find out here at Triple J.

In ‘Feed’ perspectives change between characters such as Georgia, the main character to her brother Shaun as for in “I Am Legend’ the story only ever focuses on Robert Neville and the crazy events he comes to face day by day and the horrendous flashback she has to suffer with, as well as the fact that he is alone trapped by crazy creatures who try to make his life miserable.

Another difference between the texts is that Neville finally fins the cure to save humanity but passes on to a lady he met and took in to look after as she escapes and then sacrifices his very own life even though he fought for so long to survive making him the legend who saved the whole of

The society depicted in Bradbury 's Fahrenheit 451 is so dependant on technology that the reliance on devices is obscuring their perspective on the world, turning them into selfish and inhuman individuals. In fact, the entertainment is not only a illusion, but a way to control people 's behaviors, thoughts, and interactions by replacing human connection; therefore, destroying
