Symptom 158: 1984, It's All Orwell's Fault
Give Me Sci-Fi or give me death month continues with a review of 1984, George Orwell’s dystopian classic. This movie/book/story is so dystopian is has its own branch of dystopian fiction, Orwellian. The reputation of this story is well deserved. It presents the perils of communism, surveillance, state controlled media, propaganda and history better than any story before or since and in today’s current climate is more relevant than ever.
