the librarian was put under investigation when she refused to ban the books.

> An investigation into the librarian was soon launched and the library closed as a "temporary safeguarding measure".

of course 1984 is one of the books being banned.

It seems 1984 is the manual that most governments are using to inspire themselves. Definitely not something that us plebs should have access to.

/s (for those few)..

I red 1984 and "Brave new world" roughly at the same time, and for quite some time I thought 1984 to be too unrealistic, and I considered bnw as more likely scenario. I was wrong.

I remember having a similar feeling about 'A Handmaids Tale', a TV show I gave up watching because I would actually weep myself to sleep.

Coming soon no doubt. It's like they are determined to make dystopian nightmares a reality, almost as if they know the end is nigh or this particular iteration of civilization is drawing to a close and they are determined to squeeze the very soul out of the experience.

To what end? Distraction? Personal enrichment?
