Got a notification from Kindle that
""1984" by George Orwell is trending now."

Nervously checking if Nineteen Eighty-Four is still in the fiction category these days...

A quotation from Orwell

Often there is a seeming truce between the humanist and the religious believer, but in fact their attitudes cannot be reconciled: one must choose between this world and the next. And the enormous majority of human beings, if they understood the issue, would choose this world. They do make that choice when they continue working, breeding and dying instead of crippling their faculties in the hope of obtaining a new lease of existence elsewhere.

George Orwell (1903-1950) English writer [pseud. of Eric Arthur Blair]
Essay (1947-03), “Lear, Tolstoy and the Fool,” Polemic Magazine, No. 7

After buying the pixel 7 pro I decided to rip the OEM OS and install #graphineos, very impressive.

I racconti di fantascienza distopica sono onnipresenti nell’ultimo quarto di secolo, tra letteratura, cinema, videogame e serie tv. Ma questo eccesso potrebbe distruggere le fondamenta stesse del genere.
