Explications
: Not Sci-Fi
Bluewolf0411: Not science fiction.
electrice: read, science fiction, dystopia, bleak portraying of a possible future, big brother and all the jazz
Bretzky1 : This is not a science fiction story. Just because a story takes place in the future does not make it science fiction.
horacio.salazar: A classic. Big Brother is now almost real. :D
lcl999: A justly famous book. Yes it is also Science fiction. What about the TV sets that listen and watch?

Explications
paradoxosalpha: Pace marycloseburn, there are no supernatural elements in this highly science-fictional alternate history. The metaphysical conceit that frames the story does not make it "fantasy."
marycloseburn : Enjoyable, but alternate history with fantasy elements rather than science fiction.

aulsmith : Fun, but really poor in the sf area.
Bluewolf0411: Not scifi
electrice : read in 2013, silly story
lcl999: One of the few really funny SF stories. Makes Pratchett seem a bit childish.
