1984 - George Orwell tried to warn us.
A rapist, a snitch, a plagiarist, and a racist walk into a bar.
The bartender asks “How’s the new book coming Mr. Orwell?”
Care to elaborate?
This is bad, but that's such an overused comparison. It can even be counterproductive because the Oceania from the books is so obviously different from the real world.
I’m talking about the wall in their rooms though that they can use to listen in when they want, you have no private conversations.
The same book which has been funded to be spread as far as possible, all over the world by the CIA.
Classic. What a warning.
