Pretty much it is time to start reading this book if you have not. Examples today are re-writing of history in the schools. Google search engine omitting search results making things disappear. Facebook, Twitter and YouTube making people disappear. The bias news media trying to destroy people. The spreading of the nanny state. Government officials getting richer while the public sector gets poor. The propping up Russia as the new boogeyman. Public sector working in humane long hours to live. The list could go on. Recommend reading even though it is a little slow. I would also like to point out isn’t ironic that Apple used the back drop of a 1984 future in a commercial when Apple has become a totalitarian tech giant that want you to accept user agreements and have masses wait in line at a colorless store where all the employees dress the same where the Steve Jobs was worshipped by Apple cult fan boys
