Metro 2033
OK, we’re currently in the Graham Greene, Kurt Vonnegut, Thomas Pynchon part of the slideshow. I’m sorry if that’s jarring to you, but knowingly and publicly pulling Slaughterhouse-Five out of your backpack has a similar energy to those stiff straw boater hats Nick Carraway wears in some movie adaptations. I thought now would be a good time to go there.
Metro 2033, the first-person shooter, is based on Metro 2033, the post-apocalyptic book by Dmitry Glukhovsky. Playing this game, which mostly involves gunning down slimy gray mutants in hellish, razed Russia, will help you finally tell everyone that 1984 was on your syllabus at least once, and you are not afraid to misuse the term “Orwellian.”
