    <![CDATA[The year 1984 has come and gone, but George Orwell's prophetic, nightmarish vision in 1949 of the world we were becoming is timelier than ever.  <em>1984</em> is still the great modern classic of &quot;negative utopia&quot;--a startlingly original and haunting novel that creates an imaginary world that is completely convincing, from the first sentence to the last four words.  No one can deny the novel's hold on the imaginations of the whole generations, or the power of its admonitions--a power that seem to grow, not lessen, with the passage of time.]]>

    <body><![CDATA[The classic model for dystopian fiction and it still creeps me out. In Winston's world a war is always happening (somewhere else), the economy is always just about to come back, and Big Brother is always there watching. The book was published in 1949 drawing a dismal look of what life could be like in the future, ala 1984. The role of the ”tele-screen” is really not that far off the mark in the lives of modern people today. Except maybe that we chose to leave it on.  Or do we? Perhaps the eeriest part is not so much the totalitarian government but the means by which they keep the people in check.<br/>The Thought  Police say, 2+2=5.  :-)<br/>]]></body>
