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

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?
