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?

I've got that book. The 2md one is not that book.

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

Oh! I thought someone might of posted about it already! My apologises. Grin How sad must people be to change words in books for a reaction?

Watch Utopia by Channel 4 on Amazon Prime to really freak yourself out Confused 😂

@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.

CheekyMango · 05/03/2020 21:30

@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.
