I never was assigned 1984 while I was in school. I did choose to read it and many other dystopian novels on my own after my dad suggested I read them. I’m glad he did. I remember having long discussions on how life would be. I think I wouldn’t be nearly as prepared if I had ignored his advice.
It’s easy where I live to get lulled into a sense of comfort. Everything seems like normal life in the smaller towns I go to.
I only notice how bad things are getting when I go to bigger cities, turn on the tv or scroll most social media. Then I see the signs of dystopia.
I too think it’s the early stages and I do hope there is still a chance for people to wake up. I’ve noticed that more and more are responding with an opposing view on propaganda posts that the local new stations have been putting out. It used to only be one or two and they would be ridiculed but that doesn’t seem to be happening as much.
