Hi!

Here’s this week’s feature from Today in History at BellaOnline:

First Day of George Orwell’s 1984

Published in 1949, George Orwell’s most famous novel starts on April 4, 1984. Thankfully, the postwar world did not coalesce into totalitarian superstates, the media doesn’t always spread propaganda, and thoughtcrime is mostly fictional. Yet why is Nineteen Eighty-Four still relevant today? What Orwellian future could we possibly still fear?
