I love this story, and the 1984 comparison is fascinating to me. I do see those obvious similarities between them, but this story has a wit about it lacking in 1984. I love 1984, but it's a hopelessly bitter, bleak story by a hopeless bitter, bleak man. This one at least was written by a man capable of looking into the darkness and being able to laugh.
I've always liked it.
