Orwell’s Diaries Published As A Blog

George Orwell’s diaries are being published “live” as a blog 70 years later to the date he wrote them. The entries are mundane as these are culled from his domestic diary. His political writings will begin on September 7 and this should yield more interesting thoughts of his.

Indeed, being a journalist and writer, it would be interesting to know what his thoughts would have been on blogs and blogging, the proliferation of CCTVs and the unfettered executive powers of Governments.

  1. Dude, he wrote Barisan Najis’s manifesto la - 1984!

    Animal Farm is still fooking banned here la according to the Home Ministry list . . . me wonders

  2. I know. The funny thing is Animal Farm is only a political satire and one that’s directed at Soviet Totalitarianism. Perhaps the similarities between us and the then USSR are too close for comfort.
