Just seen something on social media about a book that was published in 1981. Just read the reviews on Amazon and some of them are chilling. Here are some pictures of what was written. Thoughts?

There has been a long thread about this already. It references the snopes.com page debunking this.

@CheekyMango - I have watched half of Utopia, many years ago.

Does it reference this?

That's weird. Part of me wonders if this has been created.

@PollyPocketLucyLocket no reference to the book but with all this coronavirus stuff I remembered the plot so I'm rewatching it. Basically based on a conspiracy theory of anti humanists if that's what they're called trying to limit population. I don't think that's what coronavirus is, but with all the hype I thought I'd re watch it.
