Nineteen Eighty-Four by George Orwell | 1984 | Full Audiobook

One of the most important novels of the 20th century, constantly relevant.
The most famous dystopia of literature, translated into more than 65 languages, sold in more than 30 million copies.
A sinister vision of a world where there is no personal freedom, lies replace the truth, and politically incorrect thought is the most severely punished crime. 1984, a thorn in the side of communism and other totalitarianisms, is a mirror in which fanatical human repairers can still see themselves today.

I found this book highly disturbing when it was still fiction. Now that it's reality, it's like a nightmare about which I'd been warning for ages, but no one would listen. Far too many prefer to remain blind and deaf to the truth of what is happening around them, willfully absorbing and celebrating the lies, finding comfort in delusion, and embracing the shackles into which they've willingly surrendered themselves, their liberty, and any hope for their posterity.

[@daviddickey1994]

Something fishy about the narration. The way he pronounced B-B, a couple of other things I can't remember that didn't seem quite right, not just the English pronunciations either. Anyway after listening to to this I am feeling paranoid and probably should not report my suspicions.

[@thanatos2364]

Definitely off somehow. In ch. 8, they pronounce St. Clement's as "St. Clement es", almost like the narrator can't say possessive words.

[@CodenameZhidkost]

What do you think it might be? I never noticed anything too peculiar. A couple of strangely-pronounced words, perhaps. And the way the narrator chants "BB" isn't the way I imagine it, but...I brush this off as simple social mistakes or errors. I do wonder if some of the book has been censored, however, since I hear there are multiple editions of the book...

This book takes place in a world after Stalin's Communism has defeated the entire planet, its mindkontrol methods have been perfected and all logic and beauty and hope have been trampled out from humanity forever. Stalin was the most terrifying figure in recorded history, the horrific (the worst things you can imagine and then even worse than that) psychological experiments performed on students in Warsaw Poland marked the apex of communisms cruelty and hysteria. The state above all. This is what terrified George Orwell more than anything.... All people broken and all thought has one purpose, to impose and support the state. The state above god, above family, above children, above love, above knowledge, above happiness, above every aspect of human life. Do everything for the state and leave nothing for yourself. Thats communism. Thats what everyone who knew better was terrified of.

[@ehihihi]

I think you mean authoritarianism. Orwell himself was a staunch democratic socialist strictly against the authoritarian rule of Stalin, and communism doesn’t mean that a “big brother”-like character watches over you with a iron fist, no, communism is the idea of everybody getting what they need and the rest being distributed amongst the population. It is guaranteed healthcare and food, social and job security, free education and schooling. It is not the USSR, it is not the Leninist idea of purging all impure thought. It is simply everybody getting what they need in order to survive in a land of plenty. Ideas are not defined by those who “adopt”it to justify a dictatorship- they are there to be learnt and discussed. Communism doesn’t go hand in hand with dictatorships- it can be democratic. I think you’re simply a little confused, as Orwell is not criticizing the social aspects presented by communist ideas, he is specifically criticizing the USSR, and all dictatorships including that of right-wing fascist ones like Mussolini and Hitler’s. Dictatorships and authoritarianism go hand in hand, not communism. Communism is a system of beliefs, not a facet of government

It surgically removes all the deep meaning of the book. But in the name of CURRENT political-correctness, they want to edit it out-forever. Such a horribly short-sighted nightmare of an idea. People being completely brainwashed by “THEir Party”: yesterday we said xyz, today we say that never happened… but wd anyone swallow that? It had only been 24 hours. Yup. Unquestionably so. We’re in this frightening place and it’s NOT BIG BROTHER or The Party or the government: it’s people’s inability and unwillingness to do their OWN CRITICAL THINKING. They let social media, spin and algorithms rule their minds and lives and can’t even see it happening.

"In the embers of Western daylight, humanity festers-swarming like locusts across the desolate planes of concrete jungles. These city-cubes, monolithic and suffocating, cradle over fifty billion souls in their cold, unyielding grasp. Each soul, a whisper in the cacophony of the gibbering masses, yearns for a breath-a breath now tethered to the cold machinery of commerce, metered out in monthly dues to the godlike corporations that reign supreme. The earth, once teeming with the wild and the free, now lies barren, a silent testament to the voracity of human greed. Wildlife, the vibrant tapestry that clothed the world in wonder, exists no more, erased from the present as thoroughly as from the memory of man. The air, thick with the stench of despair, carries the weight of invisible chains-chains that bind people to the ground, to their miserly perches in the sky. These perches, sky-high yet grounded in the mire of human folly, stand as the last bastions of status in a world where worth is measured not by the soul's light but by the shadow it casts upon the fetid pavement. The humble soviet blocks, crumbling monuments to a bygone era of misguided equality, jostle for space amidst the steel spires of corporate deities. The pantheon of these new gods, corporations of insurmountable power, demands worship in the silence of subjugation. History, once a tapestry of truth and valor, now weaves tales of deceit-tales where the great minds of the past, Newton, Maxwell, and countless others, find themselves reborn under the banner of the CCP. Their legacies hijacked, repurposed to serve the narrative of dominion, where the West kneels before the East in a mock parody of reverence. And thus, the world turns, a carousel of stagnation, spinning endlessly towards a dusk that promises no dawn. The sun, indifferent to the plight of those below, marches towards its eventual extinction, a silent observer to the unchanging, unyielding reality of this dystopian doomsday. In this future, where the essence of humanity is bought and sold in the marketplace of souls, the only certainty is the persistence of the human spirit-a spirit that, even in the darkest of times, yearns for a glimmer of light in the unending night." - Andrea Zanzotto

Its certainly grim listening to how things in this world operate, and certainly theres a sense of pleasure listening to how terrifyingly authoritarian it is, in the same way almost like how watching a horror movie and anticipating a jump scare is.

Have you read any of Orwells other stuff? The world/setting/environment is the story. It's important details like the nonchalant reaction of Winston about a severed hand, the grimy nature of walls, and the monotonous work life that tells the true intent of the story. Don't think of it as a narrative. it's more like a snapshot of a predicament, a singular realization rather than on an ongoing series of events leading to a conclusion... This IS the conclusion. All of the colors and figures that hide in the shadows and blindspots of a still scene.
