A day in the life of the #BrokenTimes

Kazuo Ishiguro on ‘Klara and the Sun’

Nobel Prize-winning writer Kazuo Ishiguro’s novel Klara and the Sun is now a feature film, directed by Taika Waititi. The story is set in a future time, where children no longer go to school; instead they learn on devices, isolated from each other.
