"Ending is better than mending" (49). Now isn't that us today? In this world, people that when something is broken, just throw it away and buy something new. That seems a bit familiar to me. This isn't the only similarity that I've noticed between this world and ours (see other blogs). But it does seem to be the most predominant similarity. Honestly, when was the last time something was fixed instead of bought? I know that I'm not one to talk, considering the amount of times I upgrade my phone. It's just kind of sad how someone 60 plus years ago was able to write about this dystopia, and not even realize that he's practically predicting the future.
