This book was supposed to be a warning, not a damned instruction manual.

Wasn't this the book where the estate authorized it to be rewritten because it offended people?

EDIT: There was absolutely a rewrite, but that's not what I'm thinking of. It was this idiotic intro: https://www.newsweek.com/new-1984...rs-2082192

Here's the rewrite, hard to tell if it's the estate just trying to wrong every cent out of the universe or if it's as /Orwellian/ as the concept sounds. https://www.theguardian.com/books...lls-estate

I don't think they'll try, it will just make the original book/movie more known, awaken more people.

Was the book approved by the Disinformation Government Board?

This was a great read, I read it almost 30 years ago in HS. I'd say, where else would we be buying the book, but the irony isn't lost on me that amazon is the one selling the book. They'd be one of those involved in some Ministry of Information type of board.

No need to read this. US "government" policy made it reality.

2032 is when they figure it will be finished & the cattle will be fully "tagged"...We have a few more years of normalcy, but please be vigilant in the fight against surveillance & overreaching AI in applications where private entities own your profile. A big nefarious name that many have Stockholm syndrome to raided the IRS last years for our our government info. Him and who he founded PayPal with are gonna make life rather complicated in the near future...
