George Orwell's novel "1984" and modern times
14.99 €
In 1949, George Orwell's novel "1984" was published, and to his contemporaries, it seemed far removed from reality, almost like science fiction. But 75 years later, it can be confidently asserted that the writer somehow mystically foresaw the course of world events, and dystopia has become the prose of 21st-century life. This book is a collection of articles by V. Yu. Katasonov, a publicist and economist, dedicated to the prophetic novel "1984." Here you can encounter predictions that have already come true or are beginning to come true in our time, learn about the fundamental dogmas and anthropology of the totalitarian state, recall the crisis of modern science and the destruction of classical literature, reflect on the transformation of human consciousness and behavior through the extreme simplification of language, and learn about modern technologies for tracking people (even their thoughts). The relevance of the issues that troubled people in the mid-20th century is confirmed by the events of recent decades around the world.
