Read this 2 years ago. Not the ending I was expecting but good book. Not a hard read.

They just look at it for their daily two minutes of hate haha

You can really tell that people who reference that thing have never read it. Honestly if you have a legitimate criticism of Western society to draw from a dystopian novel there's probably better choices. The totalitarianism in 1984 is in no way subtle or hidden from anyone, that's a big part of the point of it.

Of course, to reference something relevant you have to have read things other than rage clickbait.
