so-soI love Verne. I love dystopians. But as I read, I had to admit that I found the story deeply, profoundly boring. Verne, boring? How?! I puzzled for days over it.
Then it hit me: Verne's battle has already been lost. His nightmare is my home. I'm a natural-born Winston Smith, and I'm so far removed from the world Verne once loved I can feel no grief at its passing.
The book is boring, but now I get chills thinking about it.
