1984

Nah, must be at least 30 years out of date.......

It’s a long time since I’ve read 1984 but it’s a story that’s always stuck with me.

What surprises me most is how it becomes more relevant every decade. The parallels now are most striking when so much political and topical debate is reduced to the equivalent of the two-minute hate: focused but unquestioning hatred that allows people to be distracted and manipulated.
