I remember the feeling of reading one of my childhood favs tearing hard into another one of my favs Orwell's review of CS Lewis' Mere Christianity, which he said was not only intellectually worthless but "sinister"

One fault of 1984 was that it was a strictly class based dystopia with no regard for race or gender. It's even mentioned that the Inner Party is racially diverse.

One fault of pretty much every fictional dystopia is that they oppress everyone equally so everyone works together against them. Whereas in real life there's always degrees of privilege meted out so that people buy into the system to one degree or another.
