I like the story but I can't fucking stand all the high school sophomres going on and on, spouting, "Yo dawg, it's just like [our current political situation, regardless of year]. We're basically living in oceania right now." Are there no other good dystopia books for kids to obsess themselves with, or is this just a problem of high school cramming the same ten books down everyone's throat?

when really our modern society is much more like brave new world
It is though. It predicted endless war, total surveilance, manipulation of language, and fabrication of history. Brave new world just predicted "muh hedonism", and 1984 had that aspect anyway in the prole classes
Stop being a countersignalling faggot

I'd say so, yeah, in that BNW felt much more like a reflection of a neo-liberal society to the extreme. But again, I feel like I'm walking on egg shells because usually what follows discussions of those books are pissing contests of who knows their political terminology better.
>oceania is fascist
>no oceania is communist
>no it's fascist because of x y z
>yeah but it's communist because a b and c
At that point you might as well just stop bringing the book up.

Is it the same person making this thread every day?

There are far better novels on politics and dystopia sci-fi, but this one's really easy to read and udnerstand, that's why it's so popular.
