Have you read 1984? The character, Winston, has a job to rewrite past newspaper articles so that the records always support the Party's agenda.
Yes i read that book in high school but I don't really remember much about it.
It's a dystopian novel by English author George Orwell.
I think it was about the government having control over people wasn't it?
Yes. It reminds me a little of today's think tanks funded by governments that derive revenue from research work related to their projects.
I don't think our government has gotten that out of control as that book. The book is a pretty scary society.
I agree. Dystopian novels tend to take it to the extreme, but they make you think.
Yeah they do, makes you grateful for the world you live in and that is not happening here.
