Nineteen Eighty-Four
By George Orwell, First current printing April 1983
Copyright 1949
Story takes place 35 years before 1984.
In many ways it predicts the future, even when reading it today.
Today (4/20/2017) Completed reading "Nineteen Eighty-Four" by George Orwell. Amazing book written in 1949 and story is fiction about 1984. Recent comments by some writers are warning that some political events today in 2017 are going down this very bad road of control of the public in a similar way. A lot in the news recently about "alternate facts" etc. Is this "double thinking" as in the 1984 story???
How can a President in so many messages say one thing today and reverse it tomorrow? He freely calls so many other political folks liars when he does not agree with them. "Double Thinking" at its best.
