I can't remember what it was, maybe some short story by Ray Bradbury, but I first read it in high school (so somewhere between 1999 and 2003) that took place in the distant future of 1998.
Also, wasn't 1984 set in the future of when it was written? ๐ค
Yes 1984 was written in 1949.
I never looked it up but I always heard it was written in 1948 and he just reversed the last two numbers as it was an easy way to put it in the not too distant future.
Like I said though, I never had the inclination to look it up, maybe he wrote it in 1948 but it was first published in 1949.
Yes but also 1984 wasnt set in 1984; even the years were lies.
