Summary:

A very strong and attractive work, On "Nineteen Eighty-Four" is a fresh and frontal confrontation of the question of whether Orwell had it right about technology and totalitarianism--or whether the usual cliché s and stereotypes about the Orwellian view are right. The result is a very engaging body of thought."--Robert Weisberg, Stanford Law School
