“The further a society drifts from the truth, the more it will hate those who speak it.”George Orwell
Considered one of the greatest visionary free thinkers of the 20th century, George Orwell wrote cautionary tales of absolute authoritarian regimes, foreseeing many aspects of modern dystopian society over the last few decades. He believed that the foundations of totalitarianism lay in the misuse of language to manipulate the truth, and was pessimistic about humanity’s tendency to be subject to such manipulation.
