There are several works of fiction set in Equatorial Guinea. Frederick Forsyth's 1974 novel ''The Dogs of War'' is set in the fictional platinum-rich "Republic of Zangaro", based on Equatorial Guinea. There is also a 1981 film adaptation of the book. Fernando Po, now Bioko, is featured prominently in the 1975 science fiction work ''The Illuminatus! Trilogy'' by Robert Shea and Robert Anton Wilson. The island (and, in turn, the country) experience a series of coups in the story which lead the world to the verge of nuclear war. The story also hypothesizes that Fernando Po is the last remaining piece of the sunken continent of Atlantis. Due to the country's permissive laws, most of the action in the American novelist Robin Cook's book ''Chromosome 6'' takes place at a primate research facility based in Equatorial Guinea. The book also discusses some of the geography, history and peoples of the country. Episode 2 of the British sitcom ''Yes Minister'', "The Official Visit", involves the fictional developing country of Buranda in what is actually Equatorial Guinea. In the 2009 novel ''Limit'' by Frank Schätzing, set in 2025, the country's history (and future history) plays a significant role. The 2011 novel ''The Informationist'' by Taylor Stevens is a missing-person thriller that makes detailed use of Equatorial Guinea's mélange of people, economics and geography. ==References== 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Fiction set in Equatorial Guinea」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
