1984 - you will love Big Brother

1984 - you will love Big Brother

In a long overdue episode 130 is a re-reading and discussion of George Orwells 1984, is it a cliche to reference? why do people react to the word Orwellian, does it exist. Why does every generation since its writing find something within it that reminds them of their own society and resonates deeply. Is it a warning from history? does it really read like an instruction manual for our political class or is that just a cliche. A deep dive into one of the most brutal, dark, unrelenting and grim novels ever written. 1984.
