1984

When I first read this novel back about 20 years or so ago, I thought it was science fiction. I felt that totalitarianism was something formed inside of someone's imagination. Little did I know that as each year passed me by, the future of our world became more inept to a big brother run society. Anyone who reads this novel should fear and in turn make personal changes, but fear the right thing.

Currently, people are afraid of their government, with given right however to be afraid of the end of the world or to be over-ruled by the government is something we shouldn't fear in America because it has already happened. It happened the moment we paid for expanded cable, it happened the moment we splurged thousands of $$$ on a big screen television. We are our own worst enemy...we are in this hole because of our own mistakes...sad, isn't it?

Orwell is a true genius, a visonary and his words convey a reality that proves tyranny as we speak. His satire seems vague during this day in age because the harshness and shock has coasted from fiction...to non-fiction. However, during his years it's depressingly thoughtful satire that shows that yes...Orwell's mind is revolutionary.

Here is the trailer to the film that was not as innovative as the novel, but still worth watching:
