Surviving Antarctica: Reality TV 2083 by White is a fascinating look at a tragic future in which EduTV has replaced school and Survivor shows keep the discontented masses pacified. Education beyond the age of 14 is only available for the wealthy and those who win the Toss, a role of dice. The Secretary of Entertainment’s job is to keep people staring blankly TV programming rather than consider their situations and revolt. Consequently, TV shows become more and more daring leading her to come up with the idea of having five fourteen-year-old kids who’ve already lost their Tosses recreate the Scott expedition to Antarctica. The kids think camera crews will be hidden somewhere in the cold white vast expanses of Antarctic landscape, beause they don’t know that the Secretary’s implanted tiny cameras right into their eyes. How can the people at the Department of Entertainment and the viewers continue to allow this sick form of entertainment? This 322 page read went much faster than I had expected.
