There is always something we disagree with the majority. So here’s a thread to talk about it.
Mine is this: is an overrated, over quoted above average book, not bad, but far from being a masterpiece. Animal farm is Orwell’s best work of fiction and Brave New World is a much superior and plausible dystopia. 1984 style oppression is just hyperbole.

It’s funny to compare the different flavors of dictatorships
Oceania was a nightmarish shithole, basically a somehow even worse version of Stalinist Russia.
The World State in BNW reminded me of the “we’re le good guys” type of libs who’ll curtail all civil liberties while claiming is for your own good, just shut up and consoom (a.k.a. soma).
