Squid Game

There's a new tv series on Netflix, sadly only for streamers, called Squid Game ...

a South Korean survival drama .... The series centers on a contest where 456 players, drawn from different walks of life but each deeply in debt, play a set of children's games with deadly penalties for losing for the chance to win a ₩45.6 billion prize.

Here's a trailer ...



It reminds me of the book, Ready Player One, in which future people who owe money on their credit cards are made virtual slaves for life by the creit card companies in order to pay off a debt that can never really be paid off (if you are like me, you know what that means).

As Jason Johnson says in the video at the top, this is so conservative politics.
