I am desperately begging journalists to read another fucking book. Anything. There are a whole bunch of other dystopian novels that have been written. "Orwellian" this "1984" that how about your orwellian all 1984 of my nuts

I swear to god 1984 is the Harry Potter of journalism.

Good article otherwise tho.

Personally I recommend The Iron Heel. It's Jack London's best, and it inspired Orwell to write 1984.

The Iron Heel is credited as having created the "future distopia" genera.
