    1984 is wayyy too exaggerated. We don’t need to force people to have a “telescreen” if everyone just voluntarily spend their own resources to obtain them. (Eg: Smart Home Assistants) We don’t need to have a “ministry of truth” when people voluntarily believe in lies spread on news and social media. (Eg: Various Facebook groups, “QAnon”, Fox News)

      This is something that I feel like Brave New World got a lot more right. In that book, people’s pleasures are their prisons.

        Huxley even pointed out why his vision of the future was more likely than Orwell’s
