This means Skynet's future solution to humans having mental breakdowns at their factory jobs will be to order them to spend 30 minutes in The Box.

"Put him in The Box."

I love the Tri-State World of 1984 far more than the Great Britain Becomes North Korea version. It's just so much bleaker and more misanthropic. It gives mankind no way out and holds us in such dismal contempt.

However, the idea that Eurasia and Eastasia are actually (relatively) normal geopolitically is also fascinating. Like, imagine Operation Unthinkable occurred in 1945, the obvious inevitable happened and the USSR steamrolled the Allies and extended their reach to Portugal, and the Soviet Union and USA came to nuclear blows in the 1950s but it didn't end civilization and society actually developed about on par with what happened IRL and the world outside Airstrip One in Nineteen Eighty-Four is filled with just as much jazzercise, new wave punk, and funky dance-pop as the real 1984, except Britain couldn't enjoy any of it because they were arrested by a Khmer Rouge-esque national-socialist brutalitarian regime. Hell, the Cold War probably even ends in 1991 for whatever reason and we reach a relatively similar 2021 AD and yet "Airstrip One" remains.

This is Dystopian to me. The utter break down of society!

Looking at this image, I see the future chapter header for "Decline and Fall of the USA" in some future history ebook.

Why are his nipples so erect

It's actually not as dystopian as it sounds, but it does definitely SOUND like every 1980s/late 2000s "condemned play game of death" dystopian movie concept
