I find Orwell to be a much better writer than Asimov, and 1984 was praised by people like Bertrand Russell (who was arguably a greater writer than either of them, even winning a Nobel Prize).

Also, Orwell was shot in the neck in Spain while literally fighting fascists.

Still, thank you for the link to Asimov’s review. I’ll read it later.

I find Orwell is infantile in the extreme.
