Yes, because the west is absolutely a totalitarian dictatorship where books are burned. I love dystopian literature and sci-fi authors have sometimes done a better job of predicting the future than the academics and journalists, but neither of those books predicted the present. In fact, both were describing the past: 1984 is about Stalin; 451 is about McCarthy. If anything, you’re describing Brave New World. We don’t live in that future either.
