    Ah, I’m talking about Frankenstein and 1984 as stories. Frankenstein still a fun read, 1984 is definitely not. But yeah, that’s obviously a subjective thing.

      I enjoyed it a lot and honestly, while I could see the massive influence it had on other things, and even being impressed by the distopian technology that would seem really scifi at the time, but is normal today, I think there are some aspects that have been explored further, but not at the same detail.

      For example, doublethink and newspeak as a concept exists in other media, but I’ve never seen it explored to such details than in the book.
