>roommate is reading 1984 >posts quotes from it on Facebook

>no brain

Because he's reading? 1984 might be normie pop-fiction but that doesn't mean it's message isn't relevant. Maybe now more than ever

Because Facebook is like the Big Brother, you moron

Okay, it's "entry level lit" but Orwell was honestly both a great writer and a man with an incredible understanding of the "battle for truth" that is always raging in the world. Read Homage to Catalonia/Looking Back to the Spanish War and it'll become far more apparent.

The point is that he is posting quotes on Facebook, the real world equivalent of the Big Brother.

Ah, yes. Didn't catch that. Of course, it's utterly pointless to try and elude Big Brother nowadays so eh.

Not with that attitude anyway

>>39264046
No we're far closer to brave new worlds. I get so pissed when people say we're closer to 1984 when brave new worlds is actually what's happening.

How then, as far as I can understand you can ALWAYS be found, and your actions are ALWAYS catalogued, be it by their traces or their lack thereof

We are actually on our way to soylant green

I couldn't read that past the 3rd chapter or which one it was which was just random incoherent sentences

I hear the rest of the book is not like that but it was so utterly retarded I stopped reading

>>39264016
You were on Facebook too so the irony applies to you as well.

>>39264490
That's not irony. Unless you're thinking of the "reeee real robots don't have FB reeeee" angle of it

>OP's roommate is reading 1984 enriching his life
>OP is shit posting on /r9k/ wallowing in depression

>>39264508
I have read it 4 years ago you tard.

BTW there was literally nothing wrong with that book. In the last 2 chapters when Winston (that was his name, right? or Wilson?) explains to him why all that shit happened. It's literally only normies that get freaked out by 1984. It's a robot utopia described in it. No love, no sex, no enjoyment of life etc. Let everyone suffer. And let them believe they enjoy it.

This
And some originality

>>39264416
Brave New World's society is unironically a utopia
