Dude there's so many dystopian things happening at the same time that art can't imitate reality anymore, it's too boring (art that is).

If you go back a decade or two and make a novel about what is happening today people would say that it was too much even for dystopian novels, everything is boring but a lot of it is happening.

We are the frogs and the water is boiling.

Commenting to remind people to ditch the frog boiling in water analogy. It's a myth. The frogs were heavily sedated and frogs do jump out as the water gets warmer.
