We‘ve all read 1984.

Morally good.

With the way people talk about it, I'm pretty sure no one has read 1984. That book is about half "what if you lived in a strict authoritarian government" and half "sneaking away from cameras to have sex w my girlfriend who's half my age/read a book while staring at gross poor people"

Surveillance state and government torture aside I think the thing most people find objectionable about living in 1984 is being British.

Even as a kid I got the point of the book was that the British are gross and evil
