Orwell's "1984" Revisited As Prophecy - Softcover
When George Orwell wrote "1984" some people thought it was prophetic. No one was able to pick out the prophetic parts, and clearly understand them until now. What has been picked out is not just chilling, it is moving from highly disturbing to alarming. He wrote about an atomic war, it was prophetic and he gives a date in February 2007. Orwell used his dreams to create this story, but who would have imagined he foresaw that 84 tactical nuclear warheads would go 'missing' when the Soviet Union collapsed? London is the first on the list of targets. Some of the other cities are listed. Of course there is Big Brother and the brotherhood too, and it is identified, now that the principal province of 'Oceania' is reaching 300 million people this fall, a population level he wrote into his story. The annotation of the entire 1984 text is in blue, making it easy to identify the annotations from the original text in black. Readers of this book will do better at understanding the prophetic parts if they have "Practically Dreaming" by the same author.
