i enjoyed this far more than 1984, maybe because the premise is more clear and understandable. i feel like it’s also more accurate to how the world is, and it can be compared to so many different governments. very insightful and could easily make someone aware of the unfairness in their own society.
“The creatures outside looked from pig to man, and from man to pig, and from pig to man again; but already it was impossible to say which was which.”
Never really got round to reading this one, while it's widely regarded a classic. Very short read and accessibly written analogy of the Russian Revolution.
Interesting thought experiment on collective memory, shares a lot of concepts with 1984.
