orwell didn’t write 1984 as a warning. he wrote it as a mirror.

I used to think 1984 was about some terrifying far-away regime. You know, Big Brother, Thought Police, endless surveillance — that kind of dystopia. But the more I reread it, the more it feels like he wasn’t warning us. He was describing us. Now. The way we erase facts online. The way outrage is engineered. The way silence is incentivized. My favorite line isn’t even dramatic. It’s quiet: “The choice for mankind lies between freedom and happiness and for the great bulk of mankind, happiness is better.” We gave up thinking long before we lost our freedom. #Entertainment #Books #Dystopian_Reads #GeorgeOrwell #1984
