Kindle Notes & Highlights
Big Brother isn’t watching. He’s singing and dancing. He’s pulling rabbits out of a hat. Big Brother’s busy holding your attention every moment you’re awake. He’s making sure you’re always distracted.
Someone’s always spraying the air with their mood.
Instead of surgical masks, people will wear earphones that will give them the soothing constant protection of safe music or bird-songs. People will pay for a supply of “pure” news, a source for “safe” information and entertainment. The way milk and meat and blood are inspected, imagine books and music and movies being filtered and homogenized. Certified. Approved for consumption. People will be happy to give up most of their culture for the assurance that the tiny bit that comes through is safe and clean.
Chapter 17
The best chapter I've ever read. I found chapter 17 to be thoroughly entertaining.
We’re the culture that cried wolf.
“You ever wonder if Adam and Eve were just the puppies God dumped because they wouldn’t house-train?”
The best way to waste your life is by taking notes. The easiest way to avoid living is to just watch.
IE: participate in life!
