Orwell speaks, and 25 years later we get it.

Read all of this.. and think.

Orwell wasn't a writer of fiction, he was a prophet.

And you thought you were free... go back and re-read '1984'.

HOLY SCHNIKIES!

Unfortunately, these people probably got some of their ideas from Mr. Orwell.

Also, didn't he write 1984 in 1948?

That would be 51 years later, NO?

So true, he wrote it in 1947-48 about a future time 1984. Governments are just a bit behind schedule at becoming the mythical Oceania.

Wow! More than sobering. I periodically re-read Orwell wondering if he foresaw or wrote a guidebook and I suppose it is both.
