trump: I think there is a genre that better fits our age of Trump and Brexit, of debt and overwork, of limited healthcare and housing, according to The Guardian. It's a sort of madcap pop that seeks to represent inequality through exuberant weirdness. I disagree. I call it hysterical surrealism . Dystopian sci-fi tends to depict the near future as authoritarian and abusively hyper-disciplined, overseen by regimes that control citizens' bodies and minds. Rather, it is hysterically surreal wildly disorganized and abusively unpredictable, with hirings and firings and public displays of rage and porn stars and, occasionally, the darkest comedy. But the Trump era isn't one of extreme order.
