2023 Mileage: 2024.0
Recently I read an article about the 50th anniversary of the release of a key, groundbreaking science fiction movie—Soylent Green, which was released on May 9, 1973. As I am a big-time science fiction fan, but had never seen it, I watched Soylent Green during my ride today.
I'm glad I saw it, although it was certainly not a 'feel-good' movie. Set in the then unimaginably distant year of 2022, it takes place in a dystopian world beset by severe overpopulation, pollution, and shortages of food, water, and housing. And at the end of the movie, a horrifying secret is revealed about the titular substance, Soylent Green—that it is made from the corpses of people.
This gave me 22.5 virtual miles in 1:35.
