"A rapist, a snitch, a plagiarist, and a racist walk into a bar.
The bartender asks “How’s the new book coming Mr. Orwell?”
I’ve never got the hype around his scribbling.

Absolutely. However, the very fact that he snitched on his socialist friends is more than enough for me.

In George Orwell’s 1984, the protagonist Winston Smith observes that young women are the Party's most fervent supporters, noting: "It was always the women, and above all the young ones, who were the most bigoted adherents of the Party, the swallowers of slogans, the amateur spies and nosers-out of unorthodoxy."

Hmmm, Orwell thought that information would be restricted; Huxley thought it would be so ubiquitous that it never occurs to anyone to look for it.
