1984 and Brave New World are allegories based on real life social observations and events. So, yes, they are based on history. They are famous for a reason. It is just that you find it too close to comfort.

They're famous because the US regime uses them to indoctrinate children in their flag pledging factories

I don't think I heard Americans pledge in the name of Huxley and Orwell.

my 3 sentence novel is also based on observing you.

Yes, anyone right of you is a Nazi.

How original. Pulitzer prize winning.
