To not give it away it is set in the far future, population is back to the "stone age". In in pure collective-ism everyone is assigned a task from a young age, this is what you do. There is no innovation, it is very dark time. Being real fuzzy as I don't want to give it away. You are not you, you are we. (I) does not exist, everything is for the collective.
It goes into this world, what it is like, and one persons trip through it. He does find a girl, people don't have names, Liberty 5-3000 is a girls name, Equality 5-2521 is our main character, this is peoples names.
It follows this person from grade school through parenthood I guess I will say.....and I think I am already giving too much away with that.
Read the book, check back.
I think what other people saying by
Is that it will happen, as it will happen in the book, we just might not see it. The entire it is always darkest before the dawn.
This is where I shy away from Orwell and drift to Huxley. I don't think the Proles would take it. I am thinking you do, as we currently are, and I can really see that. All fine as long as you have McNasty and a big mac. And you could be right, and I think "they" know that. This is Huxley, as long as they are "laughing" everyone is good. Happy is all that is needed and if you are not happy have a little sona, that will fix you right up. Sona.... legal weed? Is it the same thing? And there is no push for change in the Huxley world as why would you want change, you are happy, and everyone is in their place. You are conditioned from before birth in Huxley to think you don't want to play with Delta children, you can see that today. But the issue is not everyone is happy, and that was the key to the Huxley brave new world. 1984 hinges on the proles not doing anything, this is where I disagree with Orwell, people are not wired this way. I think people will rebel as we are seeing today long before we get to 1984. That world can't get to that time frame because people will not allow it.
I also brought up Anthem here, OH YEA I can see this real easy, I don't want to give it away. But yea I can see that world. And that world would sooner or later get a Equality 5-2521. One that will not bend or be killed......
Damn stopping there giving too much away.
