Oh look - a really long essay about Orwell and 1984 in particular, which I think gives plenty of ammunition to my unpopular but resolute position that the book is vastly over-rated and actually a failure on most levels.
My only regret is that I did not have stuff like this to bolster my dislike of the book in high school.
Pretty successful on a predictive level. Look how they are always rewriting our climate history? Being a socialist brought him into contact with the people who behave in this manner.
