me, talking about The Circle by Dave Eggers which I read for school: and the creepy thing is, it may be unlikely, but it is very much possible that we end up in this exact world- my teachers: incredibly unlikely my parents: are you kidding this is exactly where we're headed right now

#it was very interesting to see the different reactions #and it was very interesting to read the book #even though i procrastinated on it so long that i had to speed read it within three days. yeah its five hundred pages long #i managed tho! i even managed to hand in my presentation almost on time #and i got everything like i was speedreading not skipping anything like i can and will talk about it in detail #and point out the parallels with 1984 which is started reading (tho so far havent finished. yet)#i still gotta read brave new world on that note like thats the other great dystopian novel the circle is always compared with #and also dystopias are actually interesting as fuck. terrifying to read the further we get in this world but interesting nonetheless #one can learn from the 70 yo dystopian novel that predicted so many actual things #a biscuit's rambles
