Summary
WINNER OF THE 2010 SAMUEL JOHNSON PRIZE FOR NON-FICTION
What if the world imagined by George Orwell in Nineteen Eighty-Four was real? What if everything around you was black and white except for the red letters on propaganda signs? Where spies like Orwell’s Thought Police studied your facial expressions during political rallies to make sure you were sincere in your expressions and your thoughts? If you couldn’t turn the dials of your radio away from the government station?
