Hot take: I thought 1984 was somewhat alright, but I haven't read it in a while.
I liked it, but it's not really a book I think "says a lot about society" or whatever, which it is to a lot of libs
I think it does say a lot about society, but about capitalist society as opposed to the USSR which it was trying to criticize. It's a masterwork of projection.
Ultimate liberal
I agree. It's just a solid work of fiction. I think a lot of people probably actually haven't read it or don't really think about the story deeper. A lot of people don't seem to read much.
Read that one Isaac Asimov review of it, it’s hilarious. Here I’ll pull it up https://www.newworker.org/ncptrory/1984.htm
