    Which dystopian novel is this? Somewhere between Clockwork Orange and Running Man?

    Came here to basically say the same thing. Public execution by the state has been used to set the tone for many a dystopian story from 1984 to The Handmaid's Tale; not to mention a trope used in any sort of historical period drama to show the depravity of the king or emperor baddy. It is a dog bark (not whistle) of fascist authoritarianism.

    I had hoped they'd shoot Trump. That would be worth getting livestreamed.
