Delirium in particular isn't trying to warn us of anything. It is a melodramatic teen romance. 1984, on the other hand, is a real dystopian.
If you want a good book that is warning us of the future, read that.
I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
