Heavy. So many possible interpretations. Intense. Upsetting. It‘s all the things. 👁️

author_izzybond A classic book. If you like 1984, you might like my short fiction story: The Silence Dividend.

Apologies in advance, bc I keep snapping photos of sections for myself. Not unlike Fahrenheit 451, Parable of the Sower, or The Handmaid‘s Tale, I‘m floored by how resonant this feels to right now. #WithTheBanned

Photo still is from the Broadway play production of 1984 - on the boards in New York for 125 performances and 38 previews from May to October 2017. For some reason I was thinking it was pre-Trump Part 1! Time feels like it‘s collapsing on me. I saw it around July, I believe. Olivia Wilde made her debut in it as Julia (second from the left).

Only 13 out of 100 (sigh). But better than last week. 😆
I'm tagging 1984 because I thought it would be on the list but wasn't.

There is no joy watching every predicted fear come true , there is no smug condescension in saying I told you so as this regime proves that us "overdramatic, doomsday, ridiculous people " were right.
I pray that enough people can and do fight back to stop it quickly.

kspenmoll Yes! 4mo

Leftcoastzen Right!?! 4mo

I read this in high school and it started my love for dystopian novels. More recently I don't read much of the genre anymore because it is just too real sometimes 😬

OriginalCyn620 Too true! 5mo

Eggs Excellent 👌🏼 5mo
