its usually seen as wtf prescient years later like 1984, or Dr Strangelove, we are all laughing about the 3 sea shells.

i dont get why 1984 has a rep for predicting anything its so much removed from reality that its easy to read it and disregard it as fantasy

brave new world struck me as much more like the world is now than 1984 was

i didnt know until googling just now that 1984 was written like 20 years later. i thought it was the opposite. drat.
