- dkokelley 17y agoParent said 'dystopian novels', where information is censored or altered. Such is the case with 1984 at least.
- greendestiny 17y agoYes, I just found it slightly ridiculous. I think comparisons to 1984 are grossly overused, but especially when the point of books like 1984 is the exploration of complete oppression of society through government control - not that obtuse bureaucracy is kind of frustrating.
- diN0bot 17y agogov controlled dystopians and obtuse bureaucracies are often intertwined. for example, mindless obedience to tube in, tube out is a problem protagonists encounter time and again (Brazil, 1984, Anthem).
- dkokelley 17y agoThe concern is that this could be a step towards complete oppression of society.
