A Harmonious Echo

Both George Orwell's 'Nineteen Eighty-Four' and Tanya Landman's 'Frankenstein: A Retelling' present profound explorations of societal control and the consequences of unchecked technological or ideological ambition, mirroring your insightful engagement with themes of manufactured reality and the ethical boundaries of creation. You've implicitly recognized a shared current of dystopian caution, where the very structures designed for order—Big Brother's surveillance state or the scientist's pursuit of knowledge without moral grounding—ultimately breed alienation and moral decay.
