I’d read parts of 1984 and saw the movie when I was like 13. At the time, I found it very depressing and almost traumatizing imagining a world like that depicted by Orwell. Thirty some-odd years later, there’s more in 1984 being perpetuated than not. Much more than is comfortable. I found the dramatized audio book on Youtube. There’s still hope, much of 1984 hasn’t taken root in America. The rest of the world, however, seems already squeezed by authoritarian coils. Barbarians are at the gates, read the manual on identifying Big Brother’s modus operandi.
