Ohhh this is cool, to find out that these are on Tubi right now. I am going to watch some episodes. I remember a couple of Fear Itself episodes, but I'm not sure about Masters of Horror. I'll get back to you.

I just started watching The Screwfly Solution. I read the short story that it is based upon, years ago. Sometimes I think of it when various abrtion-related topics are in the news in the US. A war on women, etc, you know what I mean.

That episode is based on the short story The Screwfly Solution, written by this lady. James Tiptree Jr. is just one of the pseudonyms she used. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/James_Tiptree_Jr.

I am pretty sure I have done posts here, or possibly on our old IMDB message board, about other stories by this author. One that I like a lot is The Man Who Walked Home, about a time traveller who accidentally causes a nuclear cataclysm (that was barely a spoiler at all, it happens right at the beginning of the story).

She also wrote The Girl Who Was Plugged In, which is pretty horrifying in a whole bunch of ways. It is set in a future dystopia that actually has a lot in common with the way our world is shaping up to be like. It's sort of like Rollerball, I guess, just in the sense of the setting... They way she portrays the elites in that story is really disturbing and chilling. It just feels like she is talking like actual people and families that she knew, people who, in our world today, might be in the news for a few days every year during Davos, but otherwise try to keep a low profile.

She might have really known what she was writing about, on the topic of global elites forming and deforming societies. She worked for the CIA for a while... Wikipedia doesn't go into this too much, but I remember reading somewhere about her attending high level CIA meetings where she interacted with serious, major league, international economic movers and shakers.
