The publication of Deleuze and Guattari's Anti-Oedipus proclaimed the demise of Oedipus and initiated a harsh critique of Freudian psychoanalysis. Ever since, Deleuze and Guatarri have been read mainly in opposition to Lacan and Freud. Using the science fiction film Minority Report as an example this paper attempts to balance the two approaches. It focuses on two themes emerging from the film: the experience of ‘becoming’ alongside the question a contemporary Oedipus might ask instead of ‘Who am I?’, and the relationship between individuals and society in the light of the ‘better world’ that is emerging as a collective contemporary ideal.
