“1984” shot to No. 1 on Amazon’s best-seller list this week, after Kellyanne Conway, described demonstrable falsehoods as “alternative facts.” It was a phrase chillingly reminiscent, for many readers, of the Ministry of Truth’s efforts in “1984” at “reality control.” To Big Brother and the Party, Orwell wrote, “the very existence of external reality was tacitly denied by their philosophy. The heresy of heresies was common sense.” Regardless of the facts, “Big Brother is omnipotent” and “the Party is infallible.”The dystopia described in George Orwell’s nearly 70-year-old novel “1984” suddenly feels all too familiar. A world in which Big Brother (or maybe the NSA) is always listening in, and high-tech devices can eavesdrop in people’s homes. A world of endless war, where fear and hate are drummed up against foreigners, and movies show boatloads of refugees dying at sea."
