I mean, I also think it’s overrated lol

But I was wondering if you and I had the same reason

If you don’t want to elaborate on it that’s fine

It's because someone always comes along wanting to refute me and I'm kind of bored 😅

Ah ok no worries. It’s rare I find someone else who thinks this book is overrated. It seems like 1984 makes everyone’s list of top 10 favorite books, and whenever I ask why, it’s always because of the book’s “prophetic” ideas… even though Brave New World imo is way more prophetic and also more interesting. DM me whenever and we can roast Orwell.
