items If someone tells you that your life is like a book, make sure it's not like one of these. No fairytales, no slow burn, maybe not even a happy-ever-after. Just pure despair and fictional worlds that sometimes feel a little bit too similar to ours.

Although the thought of a world of only women can be appealing, being forced to live in a dark and bare cage is not the best of options. Cryptic and rough, but it can also be sweet

Anche se la prospettiva di un mondo di sole donne può essere accattivante, essere costrette a vivere in una gabbia spoglia e buia non è la migliore delle opzioni. Criptico e crudo, ma sa anche essere dolce
Io che non ho conosciuto gli uomini - Jacqueline Harpman - Libro
Vi piacerebbe uccidere la persona che odiate di più senza conseguenze e nella maniera che preferite? Vi basterà fare nascere dieci bambini e potrete farlo! Sì, perché ormai l'amore non è più abbastanza per procreare, ma la violenza è sempre il miglio...

Le intermittenze della morte - José Saramago - Libro - Feltrinelli
Questa è tecnicamente un'utopia ma mostra benissimo come anche l'altro estremo sia ugualmente dannoso. Qui la popolazione non viene controllata con il terrore, ma con il condizionamento. Semplicemente ognuno è contento di essere quello che è, anche s...
