I just finished re-reading George Orwell's novel Nineteen Eighty-Four.
Despite the date of the title, there are still many relevant themes.
Telescreen - Facebook / Twitter anyone ?
Some modifications -but who knew so many people would be willing to forgo their privacy.
Also, ideas around the haves and have-nots. There is lots of fodder for conspiracy theorists as well.
reality control - spin
correcting history - politically correct translations of classic texts.
Still lots to think about!
