I suggest watching the video, https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=QkC1aK7jfLo but the article has an OK summary.

Also a Mastodon shout-out in the video.

That would be the short story Harrison Bergeron by Kurt Vonnegut.

Insane how much literature from over 50 years ago had so much foresight. Just started 1981 and it is eerie to say the least!

Isnt it crazy? I know its been memed to death but reading 1984 is like HoooLlly shit how does no one see this and why is it not being stopped. Similar with reading grapes of wrath.

I literally started reading 1984 because of the memes and constant references to it last few years lol. Have not heart of grapes of wrath will have to check that one out next! Thanks for the book recccomendation!

Good quote that has been true for hundred years:
