@ShITVoid That "George Orwell", he was really something! I'd love to know what happened to his crystal ball.
Orwell committed a fatal flaw, like Huxley's: by building worlds around their dystopic predictions, in the hopes of making them a spook to scare people into preventing their existence, they instead built a framework for those willing to develop those worlds into existence. -
@ShITVoid oooh the cross is back

@Ox1de Unfortunately for the living, it turns out authors like Orwell, Vonnegut and Bertrand said many prophetic things.

@DarkAthena @Compassionatecrab I don't want to take that chance and prefer she and the criminals of her ilk pay penance now, in the life where they caused harm.

@PerryM @ShITVoid It wasn't really a crystal ball. He was just extrapolating from themes he was already witnessing. He was writing at a time when fascism was relatively new and so was industrialization. It was rather obvious what would happen and a LOT of people wrote pretty good guesses.
It's a good book though. It'll get you thinking and more than a little scared.

@ShITVoid The rest is pretty funny:
"'The human sound-track' he nicknamed her in his own mind. Yet he could have endured living with her if it had not been for just one thing -- sex."
He then describes it and yeah...that would be pretty miserable.
