I finished reading "1984" two days ago having read "Down and out in Paris and London" just prior to that.
I think that the Internet will remain free from the systematic revision of history that 1984 envisages. Nevertheless, we should still be cautioned by the danger inherent in accepting lies as fact, either passively or deliberately. In particular lies that are told "for our own good".
