The book was written in 3 days in 1982.
The movie was released in 1987.
It is set in a post-apocalyptic dystopian society, where NORMAL American society has collapsed after a 2017-2019 Economic collapse.
American society now works for the 1%, and the rest live in abject squalor, poverty, degradation and a 'Police surveillance state' which is very aggressive. People are constantly hungry, unemployed living short violent stone age lives in polluted environments.
Their minds are controlled by free Television where screens are projected everywhere, churning out cesspool game shows of money and survival. The TV game show helps the people 'escape' their abject poverty and totalitarian gulag like surveillance state.
The hero of the story is an average Joe (not Schwarzenegger) an ex-policeman wrongfully accused who scavenges for food and medicine for his ailing daughter, whilst his wife prostitutes herself to support him and the family.
Welcome to America of 2025, lived by the 1% for the 1%.
