      What is the point of quoting a book written in 1984??? Technology has moved on so much since then, the experiences of the humans during that time are hardly relevant today. This is something literature needs to reckon with, scifi has made other kinds of fiction obsolete!

      I don’t have time for fiction anyways, I am too busy learning the wrong lessons from non-fiction over and over again!
