  1. I’m reading #Kallocain after having it on the shelf for ??? years - better late than never, and I think it’s the longest tenured unread novel I have. In light of the normal dystopian classics, it’s interesting that the main character starts as an enthusiastic member of the regime, and a technical expert on top of it.

    Also the thing where the cop listening devices in bedrooms directly affecting birth rates, which is just fun.
