Brave New World turned out more accurate, anyway.

Except the part where the Controllers were competent and not r-slurred.

Brave New World even has Kaczynski LARPing zoomers with John the Savage going off to live in a lighthouse all trad. The only thing the novel missed is gooning, but there was no way for Huxley to know that degeneracy was coming

It did and it didn't. They regularly to the cinema to watch porn for hours but it doesn't say they're masturbating. It's all interracial porn described in the book too which is pretty accurate because one thing about gooners is they're weirdly obsessed with BBC for some reason.

I appreciate Orwell for not being a aggressively wingcucked Soviet-bootlicker leftoid (rarity, I know)...but alas, I'm not sure if even he wouldn't resist censoring wrongthink if it meant that his ideal demsoc vision of society was implanted and protected...
Ah, who knows? I enjoy Animal Farm more anyway lol

1984 is only a classic because of the Red Scare and Cold War, it's probably the weakest out of the mainstream dystopian books and there's better critiques of Stalinism elsewhere.
Brazil (1985) is 1984 done properly, with the bureaucratic government being arbitrary and incompetent.

Look. Nobody else is gonna tell you this, so it's gotta be me. You're not an introvert, you're just mentally disturbed. I know, I know, it was a nice little label, you enjoyed it, I know you did. But you're not an introvert, it's not normal that you haven't left the house in one year. That's not "just what introverts do." That's a you problem. Oh wow, you haven't had any human contact in months. How quirky! Wow, you're such a great introvert, haha. Just kidding, that's a personality disorder. You have a personality disorder. Oh, you avoid eye contact when people are talking to you? You can't go to parties because you're too socially anxious? Ha. Doesn't sound like something you should be incorporating into your identity with a label like "introvert." Sounds like problems. Problems you need to solve. Sounds like fundamental personality issues that aren't going to get better if you hide them under the label of "introvert".
