But Matt, don’t you see? To laud Orwell now is wrongthink. Next they'll hand out 1984 in high school like it's a playbook (like in that LA times story), instead of a warning. And learning the lessons? Ha! That’s exactly the sort of subversive insubordination that Goldstein wants you to do. You’re not supposed to get it, Matt. You’re supposed to chant it, fear it and burn it. Praise Orwell if you must, but please only enter it here into this telescreen.

If you can tell I love Orwell like you do, then check out the pinned post on my substack. I've just finished the manuscript to 1984 for 2025. I've just signed the publishing contract and expect to have it on the market in Q3. Nothing would honor me more if you and Walter were to do the thing you do.
