The popular Hunger Games books are set in a dystopian world in which children are selected to participate in a televised death match.
While the terrifying idea is merely fiction, a world in which we hunt humans could be a reality in the not too distant future.
A tourism expert from the University of Central Lancashire says that hunting humans will be a hobby for the wealthy within 100 years.
The prediction is published in Futures journal, and suggests hunting humans could even become an attraction for stag parties.
As well as predicting it becoming a sport within the next 100 years, the researchers say that by 2200 it could even become televised – much like The Hunger Games.
In the paper, Daniel Wright, who led the research, said: ‘In the year 2200 death and hunting humans will form part of the tourism entertainment industry and a practice carried out by the wealthy-elite.’
The researchers suggest that there is already a trend for ‘dark tourism’ with concentration camps open to the public, and museums dedicated to torture, such as the Clink Prison museum in London.
