Never read BNW but in school I had to read 1984. Enjoed that far better than King Lear!

I love people (Not anyone here, at least, I haven't notice) that try to debate but all they do is say "1984". It's humorous

"It's just like 1984"
"Ever read the book 1984? Oh yeah, just like it!"
"1984, you lose"
"big brother! AHH!"

Then these are the same people that put on aluminum foil helmets to protect themselves from aliens.

I liked the 80's BBC version better than the film. If you seen the film you've seen the original Marvin and the guy that played Arthur Dent who is Simon Jones who ironically played in Twelve Monkeys, a well known film about a dystopian future.

Little things are borrowed from the book. Like Trillian the instant messenger client and Babelfish the online translator.

I also had a button from back in the late 80's that said DON'T PANIC from fedex.

Irony is John Hurt who starred in 1984 is now in V for Vendetta playing a dictator type.
