![]() ![]() Rations made by the Soylent Corporation are the primary sustenance of the people, and a new green wafer version, Soylent Green, has just hit the market.Ī detective by the name of Thorn, played by Charlton Heston, becomes embroiled in the murder of a wealthy man and the increasingly odd events that led to his death. Half of these people are unemployed and can no longer afford life’s luxuries, let alone food. The population in New York City alone has jumped to 40 million people in 2022. The premise is familiar in today’s world: with overcrowding and environmental depletion, class issues and food shortages take center stage. It addresses important issues like environmentalism, population growth, gender politics, and governmental conspiracy-and like all good science fiction, the setting is only the surface of a deeper story. An adaptation of Harry Harrison’s 1966 novel Make Room! Make Room!, Soylent Green is more than simple pulp fiction. 1973’s Soylent Green may be best known for a forty-year-old plot twist, but this masterpiece of dystopian science fiction represents so much more than what first meets the eye. ![]()
