Garden of Doom E.236 Headmasters and Futurism

Mark Morton is an award winning author who jumped from non fiction into fiction. He's written the highly acclaimed science fiction, dystopian novel "Headmasters". We discuss his story, the book, horrow and the genre of dystopian. What is dystopian and what is simply futurism? Would a younger version of ourselves view our current world dystopian or just topian? Is topian a word? This launches us into a wide ranging conversation about the world, the trends, and whether the future looks bright or bleak? Or is this just the way it always feels?
