Hot take: I thought 1984 was somewhat alright, but I haven't read it in a while.
I liked it, but it's not really a book I think "says a lot about society" or whatever, which it is to a lot of libs
I agree. It's just a solid work of fiction. I think a lot of people probably actually haven't read it or don't really think about the story deeper. A lot of people don't seem to read much.
