  • Summary

  • Often regarded as a standard of modern political literature, George Orwell's 1984 maintains broad cultural influence and recognition to this day. The novel depicts a terrible future in which totalitarian governments, bearing a strong resemblance to Stalinist Russia, have snuffed out all individuality and free thought. In this episode, Bird and Greg discuss the novel and its prescience, touching on a range of topics including power as a motivation in itself, self-awareness in malevolent actors, the nature of the greatest threat to freedom, the danger of doublethink and its relationship to faith, the ultimate consequences of coerced betrayal, and more. 

    Warning: The novel/movie, Silence, is spoiled in this discussion.
