Can we all agree on the following:
> 1984 > Fahrenheit 451 > A brave new world
Can we all agree on the following:

We > all of them.
agreed.
BNW is the most disturbing out of all of them and is incidentally a utopain novel
I think 1984 is by far the most depressing and frightening
This comment is painful to read.
We is quite seriously the worst literary work ever, of all time.
BNW is chock full of ideas but the execution isn't as powerful as 1984. BNW is written like a chirpy satire
first half of Fahrenheit 451 > all
I think that's reasonable but I think nothing will ever match the dread and emptiness I felt after reading 1984.
Pretty much this, yeah
atlas shrugged > the shit you posted
1984>Atlas Shrugged>We
The hunger games>atlas shrugged>everything else
brave new world and island are some of the worst novels ever written.
1984 is a classic, even if it can be tackled at 10 years old, it established all the tropes.
>brave new world and island are some of the worst novels ever written.
>1984 is a classic
The ideas in BNW and 1984 are equally important in understanding two potential sides of the same shcoin which may be used against the masses,
the writers of both saw what had occurred in history, saw what was occurring in their time, and imagined what could occur in the future, both contain truish elements of all 3
...
Holy fuck the retards in this thread... Clearly it's BNW>1984>Fahrenheit 451

garbage > any of that
>> >1984
y tho
Ray Bradbury is one of the greatest and clearest prose stylists out there, so even Huxley and his overblown experimentalism, or Orwell's journalistic style cant reach him in terms of Literature.
1984 is good for its ideas and setting, but everyone is pretty much a non character and at its center is a trite love story.
1984 was the better book, but the ideas in BNW are more relevant to today's society.
Brave New World Revisited is much better.
george orwell wrote a devastatingly stupid screed against totalitarianism with worthless characters and absolutely nothing to actually say about totalitarianism beyond pointing out that whatever it is, it's bad
George Orwell: The new Ayn Rand?
ayn rand wishes she'd screwed over as many socialists as george orwell
Fahrenheit is both the most well-written and most relevant of them
In that sense Stalin did a better job.
stalin was a good boy who did nothing wrong
