1984

And everybody knew that everybody, you know, you and I were raised reading Orwell and Alex Huxley and, you know, Robert Heinlein and Alex Anderson, and all of these other books that were part of classical literature that was taught in every American classroom.

So there's this scene in Animal Farm, it's the last scene in the novel, the famous George Orwell novel, the one less referred to than 1984, but in some ways a lot better.

I think that a totalitarian novel like 1984 illustrates exactly what we're talking about.

Read the Gulag Archipelago. Read 1984. Read Brave New World.

I picked up the 75th anniversary edition of 1984, approved by the Orwell estate. It's the official edition.

He wasn't just extrapolating historical trends; he was giving us a worstcase scenario for group think over person think.

You can't have freedom if you don't have privacy. 1984, you may recall, is a story about a total lack of privacy and a totally omnipresent government. Totalitarianism begins with no privacy.

George Orwell in the preface to Animal Farm wrote - actually it's 1984 - wrote an essay where he was essentially saying that overt totalitarianism of the kind that was taking place in the Soviet Union is repressive, but it's not nearly as effective as subtle repression.

1984 gets all the attention but Animal Farm is better.

Alright guys, so the party told you to reject the evidence of your eyes and ears.

It was their final, most essential command.

That obviously is a quotation, a very popular quotation from George Orwell's dystopian novel 1984.

There is no such thing as history because once you learn history, it disrupts your ever present. What greater example of that, by the way, than the topic of Israel?

And yeah, it's such a silly thing. But like, you know, it really reminds you of 1984 in the slippery slope. No slippery slope in 1984. You're right there in it. Books like that. Books like that. But you're 1984. You're never there's no before you're in it. You're just in it. You actually never get the slope. You're at the bottom of it.

Oh maybe it was that Apple ad.

Was it in 1984? Like the government to put them on our necks.

Have you guys read the book 1984?

1984 is like the ultimate oh shit let's never let this happen type of plot. It's our warning of the future.

It's a dystopian social science fiction novel about a world where your every action and even every single thought that you think is monitored by the government, is heavily monitored by the thought police and by Big Brother.

This is the movie based off of the George Orwell book 1984, which is like good book, yes, but like, I don't know if that's the best movie night with your family. Why not like an Avengers movie or something?

Brave New World was Plato's an update of Plato's Republic then 1984 was also an update of the allegory of the cave.

I go back to a lot of George Orwell's 1984. He has a statement in there: whoever controls the present controls the past because they get to write the history books.

This is Oh George Orwell's 1984 Talking about this Dreadful surveillance future in 1984 that has long since passed but it we're here now.

Every records been destroyed or falsified every book has been rewritten Every picture has been repainted every statue and street building has been renamed Every dates been altered and that process is continuing day by day and minute by minute history is stopped. Nothing exists Except an endless present in which the party is always right

George Orwell's estate approves a retelling of 1984 from a woman's point of view.

Every record has been destroyed or falsified every book rewritten, Every picture has been repainted every statute and street building has been renamed, Every date's been altered, And the process is continuing day by day and minute by minute, history is stop, Nothing exists except an endless present in which the party is always right

You read 1984 by Orwell. Quote every record has been destroyed or falsified every book rewritten every picture has been repainted. Every statue and street building has been renamed. History is stopped. Nothing exists except an endless present in which the party is always right.

This was Orwell's point that all socialism ends in tyranny. I love the closing scene in 1984 where the big brother the state is interrogating this guy Winston and they're trying to get him to admit the duplicates to his five.

We get 1984. We get Fahrenheit 451.

Things like George Orwell's 1984 or the Quests in J.R.R. Tolkien or Frank Herbert's Dune.

That of course is the opening of George Orwell's novel, 1984, published in 1949.

It is the final hurrah of Orwell's career; it's his last great work.

Lord of the Rings far more than 1984 actually is the great novel written about the horrors of the 20th century.

Film, football, beer and above all gambling filled up the horizon of their minds. To keep them in control was not difficult. So said George Orwell in his dystopian masterpiece 1984.

the really influential ones like 1984, they're about totalitarianism and political ideology.

We have 1984.

I agree ... like when you talk about 1984, don't believe your lying eyes.

In George Orwell's dystopian novel, 1984, there were lots of ways to get in trouble with a totalitarian state. Protesting in the street was a quick way to get seized by the authorities, but you could also get in trouble for subtler things, like reading the wrong book or having the wrong opinions.

We should ban Orwell's books. You know, we should ban 1984. No one's saying that.

But whatever dear leader says, it's like the famous George Orwell quote from 1984. The party told you to reject the evidence of your eyes and ears.

1984 is becoming a reality for police, word police, language police in Scotland.

he also kind of referred to as a Stalinist too because he then he then invoked Orwell's 1984 which is obviously a book about Stalinism so yeah that Vivek that showed up early and seemed to be like he was going to be the the first debate Vivek became even crazier than I had seen previously

he then invoked Orwell's 1984, which is obviously a book about Stalinism so yeah that Vivek that showed up early and seemed to be like he was going to be the the first debate Vivek became even crazier than I had seen previously

I remember one time I used the term 1984 and Orwell and I'm like, wait, I never even read the book. So I sat down, I read that and I read Animal Farm, then I read some of his letters and his writings.

It predicted everything. Sorry, NBD, we're running out of time, but it's always worth a 1984 reference.

It is as though they read Orwell's 1984 not as a warning, but as a how to book

favorably in 2020, a book that hadn't been in print, I mean, hadn't been published for 70 years. It was 70 years old, suddenly became a top 20 bestseller. And that was 1984, was a top 20 bestseller in 2020.

It was almost straight off George Orwell's 1984, to, to tell deliberate lies and contradict oneself and to hold two contradictory beliefs at the same time.

In 1984, the book by George Orwell, there's this one line, if there's any hope, it lies with the proles, the proletariat, the working class.

In 1984, the book by George Orwell, there's this one line, if there's any hope, it lies with the proles, the proletariat, the working class.

It's what Orwell wrote in his book, 1984. If there's any hope, it lies with the proles.

I remember being in English class and my English teacher said, what are you doing? So I'm drawing Judas Priest. And he goes, why? We're reading the book 1984. And I went, if you listen to the first song called Electric Guy, it's all about 1984. I just learned differently than you do.

George Orwell talks about this in 1984, which these days has been skyrocketing up the bestseller charts on Amazon.

When I was reading this book by Georgia in 1984 it talks about the man like Winston with a lot of weeks and after that all the torture he became empty right like and a lot of people like me that blue as a fiction to them but for me that was my father.

They did compare to the Al Capone. I mean, that's better than what the district court did, which was they compared the White House to the Orwell's Ministry of Truth in 1984.

the Ministry of Truth, a reference to the famous book 1984.

Many are likening the disinformation governance board to George Orwell's Ministry of Truth in 1984.

People enjoy being wrong about Georgia Orwell, but this shit is perfectly Orwellian.

To call a policy which kills little fucking children the Migrant Protection Policy is dark.

Orwell was not just an advocate for free speech, even though he was that, but he was an advocate for truth in speech. He's someone who argues that you should be able to say that two plus two equals four.
