Let's see, I think someone already wrote that book didn't they ? I think it was in the science fiction section back in the day. I think we laughed at the time, all the references to people like robots, "big brother" (the government) watching people even as they slept (Apple watch, Alexia ? Who knows ?). Soylent Green, that 70's dystopian "Si-Fi", 1984, all of those..... makes a person wonder..... what about Animal Farm ? Can you imagine a democracy where some are MORE equal than others.... Maybe the answer is not others at all, maybe the answer is every person work on them self ? Who knows ? So easy to topple a government when you first get the masses to a paranoid frenzy and fighting and arguing so much they have no time to get on the internet and do the considerable work of digging for the case resolutions of local judges BEFORE they go to the poles to vote ? Does any one care who is on a school board ? Do most people really care about changes to the curriculum of a local school ? Of a public university ? Do people care how reading lists in public schools have been changed to reflect bias in one direction or another ? Just a lot to think about.... and most of all investigate.
