Hacker News.

Just a decade after a global backlash was triggered by Snowden reporting on mass domestic surveillance, the state-corporate dragnet is stronger and more invasive than ever.

    i mean we could say we’re living through 1984, brave new world, Fahrenheit 451, handmaid’s tale, maybe lolita–i haven’t read that one, but heard it’s a bit child-rapey

    whatever it is, no one source has really encapsulated the hell of actual reality today

      I don’t find Brave New World to be especially dystopian. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

        I haven’t read it, what’s not dystopian about it?

        The first thing Wikipedia says about it is “Brave New World is a dystopian novel” 😅

        Maybe you not finding it especially dystopian says more about the state of the world right now than the book… 😅
