lord of the flies was about a one-party state with mass surveillance and omnipresent propaganda, where all books were burned, and it's theocratical and any women that can bear children are forced to do so. that's what happened in the book about boys on an island
Imagine a kid saying "sucks to your as-mar!" To a human face again and again and again
if you take thebasic premise of Lord of the flies, but replace Big brother and surveillance with genetic caste society and consumerist hedonism, you get The Matrix
