I think Kafka would have had a kick out of current events, though I think people today are more likely to grasp roach jokes from Cheech 'n' Chong than from Czech writers.

What continues to amaze me is how inured to the idea of government obesity the public is and how nobody seems to mention the sheer idiocy at work. There is a kind of Terry Gilliam / Monty Python quality to this massive accumulation of data on the daily lives of the citizen.

The sheer volume of weirdness that will attend this lunacy would shock even Kafka. Another fine public flogging of the Homeland insecurity Dept. .
