Summary
Originally published in 1949, George Orwell’s 20th century classic, 1984, seems more relevant than ever. Originating as a dystopian lens on Stalinist Russia, it has since become a popular source material for today’s unbelievable realities, including how political manufactured make-believe can become a reality.
We began our 2021 series by taking a deeper dive with Professor Sugrue into this classic novel with a short lecture followed by a Q&A.
