1984, Chapter One

The first in a series, I'll be reading George Orwell's 1984.

I believe it's important for all of us to read this book and I will do my part to make it available.

In the first chapter the parallels between Orwell's depiction of a dystopic future and our technocratic, totallitarian present is profoundly evident.

To understand the book properly, it's essential to understand the life of Orwell. We will discuss the relevant details of his life leading up to the time he wrote this incredible, cautionary tale.
