      The Truman Show is great but I’m not really sure I would put it in a list of sci fi classics.

        The Truman Show is stealth sci-fi. It has literal world-building.

          Yeah, now that I think about it, if you described Truman show to someone that has never seen it, they would have to think it was sci-fi. But it’s done so well and plays so close to the realm of possibility that I’ve never really considered it sci-fi…
          Whatever it is, it’s brilliant.
