    Scary New World

    George Orwell was a man ahead of his time. A man who fully understood human nature. Today is 1984 on steroids.


    Nineteen Eighty-Four, often published as1984, is a*dystopian*novel published in 1949 by English author*George Orwell.[2][3]*The novel is set in*Airstrip One, formerly Great Britain, a province of the superstate*Oceania, whose residents are victims of*perpetual war,omnipresent government surveillance*and public manipulation. Oceania's political ideology, euphemistically named English Socialism (shortened to "Ingsoc" inNewspeak, the government's invented language that will replace English or Oldspeak) is enforced by the privileged, eliteInner Party. Via the "Thought Police", the Inner Party persecutes*individualism*and independent thinking, which are regarded as "thoughtcrimes".[4]
