Welcome To Dystopia: Time To Learn
We’re just going to start with the fact that books are political. They always have been. Authors like George Orwell, Ray Bradbury…stories like Harry Potter, Star Wars – they all have political undertones and messages. Every book is political or political adjacent. The big bad authoritarian ruler dragon evil creature thing trying to subjugate the people and the people rise up.
So now that that is out of the way, books, bookstagram, reading, literature – IT IS POLITICAL. And I sure as heck am going to be political here.
If you don’t like that then you are welcome to your opinion and you are welcome to close this tab or unfollow. I’ll be soooooo devastated.
And no, I will not be demure, quiet, classy, or whatever you want to say. Gloves are off and this is survival time.
So, for those of you who are promoting love, acceptance, human rights, dignity, critical thinking and everything that goes with it, this is your safe space. If you don’t, then frankly you’re not welcome here.
But, maybe you can learn a thing or two if you read a thing or two.
I want to list some books that you should read, if you have not, to pick up on those political messages, to see where the United States of America may be heading….to really open your eyes.
And don’t skim these books. Read them, take notes, really digest what they are getting at because your survival, analysis and forward planning may depend on it. Read them, gift them to the younger generation to read.
And these books are just the start. There’s also tons of movies – Star Wars, Hunger Games, Harry Potter, Firefly, V is for Vendetta,
