Unmasking the Real

In Peter Fittings essay about "Unmasking the Real", he puts a strong emphasis on how all dystopias are not critical dystopias. He explains the basically the reason that it is a critical dystopia is because of its obvious oppression and gender inequality of woman. Its extremely important to Fitting that the reason for critical dystopias is that he worries that in critical dystopias, that they are very real and probable futuristic society's that we as humans are setting ourselves up for. The next ( and most critical to me) is the comparisons he makes to The Terminators. The reason we all fell in love with Arnold Schwarzenegger is because he was so awesome as a Terminator but many people are constantly undermine the critical metaphor that the very thing we created is what will eventually destroy us. Although now a days a Terminator is very real and possible while when it first came out seemed light years away, Fitting tries emphasize the point that  the Terminators are actually metaphors for the idea that our obsession as humans to constantly innovate and update technology is a slippery slope we are on to nuclear bombed destruction that has become planet Earth. I really enjoyed Fittings piece because while many people are only worried about their tweet on twitter or buying cloths to impress someone else, they are very unaware (and uncaring) about how their own future could be in jeopardy based off of Fittings take on how dystopian films have given us realistic visions into the future.
