"1984" and Today

Book Summary by: AcaDemon    


This paper explains that George Orwell's "1984" contains just enough truth to be a compelling warning for future generations.
The author reports that psychologist Erich Fromm succinctly points out the dangers of becoming too comfortable with the notion of moving forward. What appears to be good may only be 'Big Brother' in disguise. The paper stresses that our society may be becoming like Oceania because surveillance cameras are practically everywhere.
