“Speaking of Orwell, he was a mere 30 years ahead of his time.”

Or our time?

I reread 1984 and Animal Farm a year ago. The parallels between the book and our sad reality was scary. I just found those books, along with Brave New World, while unpacking and set them aside to read again. It’s sad that they are not required reading in schools - but not the least surprising.

My niece had to read Brave New World in school, the first few chapters anyway, she seemed to think their world wasn’t so bad
