That review is hilarious. "To summarise, then: George Orwell in 1984 was, in my opinion, engaging in
a private feud with Stalinism, rather that attempting to forecast the
future." He really got it! And shows how fundamentally Asimov misunderstands how totalitarian societies work.
"Furthermore, he has a system of volunteer spies in which children report
on their parents, and neighbours on each other. This cannot possibly work
well since eventually everyone reports everyone else and it all has to be
abandoned" |
