      And you know what? I'm gonna go ahead and get one of my takes from the furnace JENNIFER GOVERNMENT is a million times more relevant to the world as it currently is, and the needed discourse, than 1984 or THE HANDMAID'S TALE or 451 or BRAVE NEW WORLD But they don't assign that

      Like, how convenient it is, that they only talk to children about the dystopias _dead_ people worried about Because anything that came out during our lifetimes surely isn't literature, it hasn't been "tested" by "history"

      Okay but what about books that have been tested by history Sure JOHNNY GOT HIS GUN is ableist and pro-suicide and that's a whole thing but it's not any worse than the things schools make you read But I mean god forbid you get TOO anti-war, Lockheed Martin wouldn't like that

      Like honestly? I could pick 1984 apart, page by page, and I don't think I could make a condemnation of it more withering than the fact that conservative school boards have emphatically greenlit it as a part of public school curriculums. How do you top a drag that deep?

      The people who like to do shit like rewrite textbooks to remove references to slavery and the civil rights movement, they want you to read 1984. I mean that's checkmate right there. I couldn't hoist that petard any higher in a billion years.

      Vapor Weyve Retweeted Dr. Samantha Hancox-Li

      The fact that Bradbury gets shoehorned into curricula and Le Guin really doesn't is such a goddamn crime. I mean THE ONES WHO WALK AWAY FROM OMELAS is more thought-provoking in three thousand words than 1984 is in a hundred thousandhttps://twitter.com/perdricof/status/1292238943631613953 …

      my experience with sff allegories is that you shouldn't do sff allegories just write about the damn thing you want to write about, like go write THE MATTER OF SEGGRI instead of reinventing some weird "gender-but-not-actually gender" allegory that doesn't actually make sense

      I guess one of the redeeming features of F451 in my view is the hilarious "twist" that this dystopian USA has been locked in escalating conflict with the rest of the world for a while now and none of the characters notice or care Then suddenly the city gets nuked

      David X Cohen said the most genuinely sacrilegious thing he's ever written is the throwaway line on the Ally McBeal episode of Futurama where they can't show the Omicronians the real series finale because "Those records were lost after the Second Coming of Jesus"

          The idea that the apocalypse could just come and go and petty human garbage just continues anyway The thing in Jack Finney's Time and Again where his 19th century girlfriend is reading the encyclopedia and goes "What's World War Eye Eye"
