I fully understand why barely anyone knows of it. Although I don't think it was as bad as A Brave New World.
Honestly if I were to write a dystopia novel it would be exactly like modern times except with a few new technologies thrown in that would make prosecuting pedophiles, and especially their thoughts, even easier. I think we already live in a dystopia but it could always be worse especially when aided by better technology. The Perfect Day was far off in my opinion and too science-fictiony. He created a very theoretical society rather than draw from what was already around the way Orwell did (1984 was basically the Soviet Union but with better technology. The posters of Big Brother were obviously taken from the posters of Stalin) The best way to predict the future, after all, is by looking at the present. It was good as science fiction but it was not a book that scared me in any way or that I thought showed a plausible future. |
