Apart from the health care stuff (Obamacare spin), Elysium doesn't have much of a unique plot.

In fact, this stuff is a science fiction staple.

I am reading The Elysium Commission by L.E. Modesitt Jr, an older SF book.

Yet another take on the corrupt ultra wealthy hiding in a "perfect" gated community, this time in another universe parallel to ours.

So far it is pretty good for something written 20 years ago.

From walled communities to hiding out of touch in a space station, looks like human nature hasn't changed much in 6000 years. Great wealth (power, fame) almost always tends to corrupt people.
