If, back in the 1950's, you had read, as I did, George Orwell's dystopian novel, "1984," you would have seen virtually every one of the horrors that that work foreshadowed become reality in your lifetime. But if you were born after, say, 1984, you probably accept the hideous new reality as merely, well, reality, which is to say something to be taken for granted.
In this brilliant presentation, John Carver reveals exactly how extraordinarily prophetic was Orwell's work and how hideous the transformation of the world that he predicted has truly been.
