Negative Positive
Title: Thought-provoking
Review: If you have not read this, I strongly recommend it ... ESPECIALLY if you are like me, and somehow "escaped" having this assigned to you either in high school or in college, but have always wondered what the hype was all about.Too many times today, you will hear this book discarded as a bunch of prophesies that were way off -- e.g., that in the year 1984 there would be computers and "telescreens" that would all but read our minds; that "Big Brother" would always be watching us. Many, I'm sure, feel that since this is NOT the case today, that Orwell and his book were / are a wast of time.As for me, the more I read this, the more I see how the overall concept of "Big Brother" -- i.e., how information is "cleansed" to "protect" us; how we are teaching technology itself to out-smart, or at least, stay one step ahead of us -- IS, in fact, all-too-real in our lives today!In any case, very intriguing!
