Where does this view that we live in 1984's world come from? Does 1984 simply mean "dystopia" now? 2025's reality isn't 1984, it's Idiocracy slowly transitioning to either Cyberpunk or Fallout. And even then it's not universal.

What, you expect people to read? To be familiar with a piece of media before they reference it?

At this point there's been a meme for years about people misusing it.

So what you are saying is this is more like Fahrenheit 451?
