about

In the book “1984,” George Orwell created a harrowing picture of a dystopia where the government insists on defining its own reality and where propaganda permeates the lives of people too distracted by rubbishy tabloids and sex-filled movies to care much about politics or history. News articles and books are rewritten by the Ministry of Truth and facts and dates grow blurry.

Not surprisingly, “1984” has found a nervous readership in today’s “post-truth, alternative facts” era. Misinformation and fake news have proliferated on the internet. Russia is flooding the West with propaganda to affect elections and sow doubts about the democratic process; poisonous tensions among ethnic and religious groups are fanned by right-wing demagogues; and reporters scramble to sort out a cascade of lies and falsehoods told by President Trump.
