"If that isn’t already the working title of a dystopian novel or screenplay, America’s young writers aren’t doing their jobs."

America’s young writers spend most of their time policing microaggressions or trying to have someone socially destroyed and fired for hurting their feelings or for breaching proper etiquette, or cataloging all their various "traumas", which are usually a bad date, a good date where the other person ghosted, or that time someone tried to hug them without permission or when a teacher oppressed them w a bad grade.

America’s young writers are much more likely to enthusiastically sign up for the role of snitch than to mock the Snitch Industrial Complex.

Orwellian has rarely enjoyed so literal a denotation.
