Stephen King’s novel The Running Man, published under his Richard Bachman pseudonym, may be the last time King looked clearly into the abyss. Written in a terse, hopeless register that he would later abandon, it captures a society of exhaustion and surveillance. As a remake looms, it’s worth revisiting the novel and also the strange trajectory of its author, who devolved from chronicler of populist despair to mouthpiece of the very establishment his alter ego once condemned.
