Rather ironic that left wingers love this book, they think its about fascism but its really about them.
*** an instruction manual.
That is probably one of the things I hate hearing the most. It was neither a prediction or an instruction manual. He was blowing the frigging whistle on what had already been happening for a very long time. Modifying history, check. Big government control, check. Brain washing, check. False wars, check. ALL of it was already happening when it was written in 1949 (ok, except for some of the tech stuff he wrote about, that came later). It has just gotten BIGGER and more refined, nothing has changed.
.../I meant 1984 (And Brave New World too) have been used as instruction manuals.
It was supposed to be a cautionary tale, not a bloody blueprint...
It's creepy..I acted in the play version of this book in 1980. At the time, of course, I thought that we would never be close to what was portrayed in the book.
"It's a cookbook!"
Another good book that provides insight into what's going on today by Orwell, is "Animal Farm!"
