George Orwell had incredible insights, 1984 for exactly the reason you state, it’s like he’s travelled forward in time. His other novels are a good read too - have you read down and out in Paris and London? I enjoyed that one 😎👍

@Chrisy3 No. Apparently I should read "Brave new World" and the book you mentioned.

Yes, as a teenager. I liked it. I watched the movie too but of course, I was disenchanted how different it all was from what I imagined. 😆

@CrazyMusicLover For me, after reading the book, usually the movie is a letdown.
CrazyMusicLover · 31-35
@ProfessorPlum77 Yes, that happens almost all the time.

Huxley’s brave new world is prolly more in tune with today..

@TheOneyouwerewarnedabout I am not sure if I read that.
PhilDeep · 51-55, M
Yes, it's a book I think every adult should read. I re-read it every few years. Last time was a couple of years ago.
ProfessorPlum77 · 70-79, MVIP
@PhilDeep Excellent.
Rutterman · 46-50, M
I also read it years ago. Still have a copy of it. Might follow your example and re-read it.

@Rutterman Great!

What a fantastic read! Remember how it ends?
ProfessorPlum77 · 70-79, MVIP
@ShimaDust No. It has been YEARS ago since I first read it.
ShimaDust · 51-55, F
@ProfessorPlum77 Exciting! Let me know what you think when you finish?
ProfessorPlum77 · 70-79, MVIP
@ShimaDust Sure. As long as I remember.

ProfessorPlum77 · 70-79, MVIP
@TheOneyouwerewarnedabout I am on page fifty or so. Right now, things are moving along quickly.

I read Brave New World, but never ended up reading 1984 in school
