Fiction isn't exactly a good argument

  Right, but perhaps the McCarthy era is? Or the civil rights movement? Or the labor movements?

  A lot of fiction isn't just about "look at this whacky world I invented". Especially dystopic fiction usually tries to tell us something about our own world and its potential future. But the main point with my comment was to re-frame what was advocated, from their fantasy of "one small store owner doing the best for their customers" into "a surveillance system where every corporation tracks your every move for profit".
