I've been really interested in dystopian fiction lately; and for some time past. But i think i'm done with that pursuit. It is so depressing, and not exactly functional in getting out messages. or propagating foolish and unnecessary messages. Of course governments' want power, but they don't often oppress their own people, just those of other countries. plus, what's the point of a warning without a solution? just to be immortalized with an "i told you so".
the hunger games, in the first book was about obsession with entertainment, and disgustingness of reality t.v. Suzanne should have stuck with that theme. it was a lot more interesting.
on a philological note, the concept of language as a tool to control thought. very interesting. minimizing interpretations. clarity and brevity.
