Another book... that I read and loved in high school... that is getting knocked down a couple of pegs. I can’t believe I forgot about the parts in this that were on another level of boring. Lol most of this is a fabulous and terrifying look at what society could be if people forget to think for themselves and have their own opinions. But there are at least 3 chapters that are total snoozefests! I will still pull quotes from this until infinity and beyond, but I am adjusting my rating from a 5 to 4/5 Stars. This book is important, relevant, and should be required reading, but it’s also quite dull.

Very gripping and thought provoking on surveillance society. But it is quite dark.
