Ask HN: Which thought-provoking concepts would you like to see in movies/books?

1 pointansupter1 comment

I've realized that most of the movies or books that stuck with me had some thought-provoking concept as a hook. This is independent of my enjoyment as I would recommend a movie/book I didn't like if I thought it was interesting enough. Some examples:

* Westworld Season 1: Bicameralism (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bicameralism_(psychology))

* Arrival (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arrival_(film)): Sapir–Whorf hypothesis (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linguistic_relativity)

* Babel-17: Sapir–Whorf hypothesis

* Tenet: Entropy

* Blindsight (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blindsight_(Watts_novel)): Consciousness

* Children Of Time: Consciousness/Upliftment (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Uplift_(science_fiction))

Which concepts would you like to see a movie or book plot revolve around?
