And I really thought manipulating people’s reality by drowning them in desinformation contrary to observable reality, facts or anything they were told before was a theme in 1984. We are basically seeing step 1 happening right now, the (arguably harder) next step once people stop believing reality over the shit they are fed is getting the fictional narrative consistent.
I don’t think it’s 1984 but more so Brave New World.
Because in Brave New World, Huxley’s worries were that we’d be drowning in irrelevancy from the truth.
But to be honest, in the past two decades that I’ve paid attention to society and how it functions. We’re living in a mish-mash of Brave New World and 1984 together. There is no strict side that we’re living in, unless it depends where you are so I’m referring to America, but it’s both of the worst of worlds from either case.

But I guess I just read the wrong book…

Nono you see. 1984 is when we try stopping 1984 from happening, I guess.
