Wilma asked this question about 1984:

Why do people rate this book so high? Surely I am missing something.

Todd Zuccolo Orwell was intimately connected to people with political influence. He had a very clear understanding of global politics and where they were heading. …moreOrwell was intimately connected to people with political influence. He had a very clear understanding of global politics and where they were heading. In the book there is a global totalitarian government.
Political analysts have been warning us about the dangers of globalization for years. I could never really appreciate what hey were saying. Now with this pandemic we can see how global organizations, such as the world bank, tri-lateral commission, world bank, Club of Rome, etc., form a web of non-democratic control with the international corporations who lobby them. They are in essence a totalitarian world government. We also see double-think being used to invent a new reality that is driven down to us on a global scale. The global network controls what we perceive to be real and it's dictates are leveraged with moral one-upmanship (spying through the keyhole). This book is visionary. Reading it is not optional if you want to think critically about the current world situation.(less)
