Hmmm...
Marriages are just facilitators for reproduction to continue feeding the regime.
Individual thought is being destroyed through the destruction of language and culture.
Surveillance and censorship are rife.
Natural human emotions are dismissed and frowned upon for their impact on one's ability to be productive.
A truly terrifying story, that unfortunately becomes more and more real every day. I could cry.

Have run out of Spotify audiobook hours, and not a moment too soon. My skin was starting to crawl at the increasing similarities....

Hey.....so....I'm sufficiently scared of how familiar bits of this book are feeling. Why does it not sound that different to our current world???

Listening to this one on audiobook.
One of my reading goals this year is to dig in to some of the classics I've had on my shelves for years. I will likely listen to most as I do tend to find classics difficult to engage with as physical books, but I remember adoring listening to audiobooks for a lot of my reads at university. So excited to feel like I understand references to historically significant texts!
