Those are ellipses, not circles. So what I said is still the truth.

I get that the picture is more art than an actual representation of anything. With that said even as art The Matrix in my opinion doesn't really fit there. Like it's entirely within the bounds of The Handmaid's Tale so keeping with the Ven Diagram aesthetic with artistic license it means that The Matrix is most like The Handmaid's tale, which isn't not. The Handmaid's Tale is a feminist story about the domination of women in society, The Matrix is a philosophical exploration of the questions what is real and do we have free choice.

Maybe the argument could be made they're both about choice but that feels hollow. Maybe put The Hunger Games there I'm definitely over thinking this.
