Examples include Minority Report and Running Man.• Bureaucratic control: Society is controlled by a mindless bureaucracy through a tangle of red tape, relentless regulations, and incompetent government officials. Examples in film include Brazil.• Technological control: Society is controlled by technology—through computers, robots, and/or scientific means. Examples include The Matrix, The Terminator, and IRobot.• Philosophical/religious control: Society is controlled by philosophical or religious ideology often enforced through a dictatorship or theocratic government.

god in chrysalids

Back 43

god is seen as a harsh individual, the society revolves around religion and theocracy. People believe that God hates mutants and that they are what brought tribulation down on humanity. People are non accepting of deviations because they see them as mistakes in God’s eyes, and want to be distanced from the mistakes so that they come across as more pure. They also believe that mutants come from the devil and not god.
