"In 1984, it’s the paperweight that contains the beautiful little thing, and it’s the rather unpleasant piece of the forest, the piece of nature that they go to. It’s about the only thing that remains...that’s us grasping at something better. In any dystopia, the utopia [embedded within] is the something better."
- Margaret Atwood
