Paste a passage from your favourite speculative fiction, replacing all the proper nouns with "Lemmy". Then I'll try to guess where it came from without using google :)

Kind of sounds like 1984 again.

It's definitely political science fiction. But perhaps it would help if I told you one of the "Lemmy" replacements was the proper noun "Luna" --> Do you know what Luna needs most?

Given the moon is involved, possibly something by Asimov?

It is not Asimov, but it is one of his peers -- another giant of science fiction of the era.
