I’ve read many books in my time and I liked 1984 both for its entertainment value and as a warning about government power and limiting free speech. What is wrong with 1984? Is there a similar but better book I should read?

What’s wrong with 1984 is people sign up for a private service, post something against the ToS, get their account banned by a volunteer user-moderator, then call it “punishment” and cite 1984 as if “piss off, troll” from JimBob moderator of /r/WhippetFanciers is exactly the same as living in North Korea and being forced to speak NewSpeak on threat of having caged rats eat your face in Room 101.
1984 and its consequences has been a disaster for the human race. Read another book
