OK, look.
The Pokemon fanfic "Brave New World" has a Tropes page that is 10 times longer than this one, yet the cultural and literary impact of the novel "Brave New World" is undeniably greater and more powerful than the Pokemon fanfic.
We need to fix this.

I completely agree. I just finished the novel and was really disappointed when most of these entries are for a Pokémon fanfic.
I mean, who had that idea anyway? Just make a page only for the fanfic.

The length of a wiki page is a product of how many tropes are added. The historical importance of a work has absolutely no importance.

can we add in a page for Island? It was written by Huxley 30 years later and was meant to serve as a companion novel for BNW.

I removed the "And That's Terrible" from the Anti-Escapism Aesop entry. I thought at first that it meant it sarcastically, as in "and for some reason we're supposed to think that's terrible." But then I read the trope page and it seems to be something you say about things that are obviously terrible, as a Captain Obvious thing. But in this case it doesn't seem terrible at all, certainly not obviously so. Did whoever added that misunderstand what it meant or something?
