A book I'd recommend to everyone, but I didn't necessarily like it. Like, the ideas presented are thought provoking. I mean, there's literally two chapters of an anti-totalitarianism manifesto, which isn't thrilling reading.
All in all, it's depressing that such a bleak prediction of the future rings true today. I mean, obvs, it's not spot on, and I disagree with bits. But like...it sure feels familiar.

La homosexualidad es un tema recurrente en el libro: el Socing lo considera como "poco deseable" y una "desviación". La sexualidad es hetero, pero desligada siempre de todo tipo de deseo - el acto sexual tiene que ser no-placentero y con el único fin de la reproducción. Sin embargo,
Con respecto al ritmo, se relaciona con lo que decía al principio: cuando es más narrativo, cuando se enfoca en contar ese mundo "desde el cuerpo" me resultó rápidísimo y demasiado interesante. En este sentido creo que el principio, la mitad tardía y el mismo final son los más atrapantes.
Con el epílogo me cerró más la postura de Orwell porque me faltaba info de contexto
