“Every record has been destroyed or falsified, every book rewritten, every picture has been repainted, every statue and street building has been renamed, every date has been altered. And the process is continuing day by day and minute by minute. History has stopped. Nothing exists except an endless present in which the Party is always right.”



This isn't history. It isn't a record. It's fiction. Entertainment. Anything to make it more entertaining makes it better.


Pride and Prejudice and Zombies is certainly entertaining, and I’m happy that some people enjoyed coming up with it and others enjoyed watching or reading it, but if it replaced Pride and Prejudice, the world would be worse off.
