Btw, this book is free on Amazon Prime Reading.
The first time I read this book was in 1978 and the thought of security cameras did not seem real at all and today it's common place and to think it was written in 1948 is beyond belief. The roving eye is upon us now and we are all doomed......
The Telescreen is just like our mobile phone screen :)
That's putting it mildly, Joe. Wonder what Orwell or other British contemporaries like Roald Dahl and Charles Dickens would think as well!
me typing on my little screen that I agree with your review about the disease of our little screens as george orwell laughs up at us from hell
My favorite quote has now been fulfilled: "I fear the day when the technology overlaps with our humanity. The world will only have a generation of idiots and the world is doomed." This is where we are now.
