About this listen

1984 is a classic novel whose relevance continues to confront us every day. Some people thought it was a book about the future of the past. The future is now. After the election of Donald Trump and his advisor Kellyanne Conway’s suggestion we get used to using “alternative facts”, the nearly 70-year-old dystopian novel made the number-one spot on Amazon’s best seller list.

1984 in the 21st Century offers listeners 25 different opinions and viewpoints on this seminal novel from right to left on the political spectrum, with pieces from teachers to journalists and writers, lawyers and politicians, and union activists. The essays range from academic treatises to personal reminiscences to political rants and screeds, and even fiction and theater.
