George Orwell's book 1984 was published in 1949. There are fewer years between 1949 and 1984 than 1984 and now.
The longer I live, the weirder time gets.
@CanisPundit It was a wake-up call to systems which, in their excitement about their complete and permanent victory over totalitarianism, were ushering a whole new era of it.
1984 was a culture-prophet's response to phenomena like McCarthyism.
@sumpnlikefaith 1984 was Orwell commenting on 1948 in a future projection allegory.
