It’s no secret that I hold George Orwell’s writing in the highest of regard (this blog is named after a column that he wrote between 1943 and 1947 for the  British left-wing newspaper Tribune). Over the last 2 years, I have read just about every word the man ever put to paper – as to be found in Dr. Peter Davison’s incredible academic compendium volumes. When I happened upon this rap playing on some of Orwell’s ideas concerning progress, tyranny and the future, I knew I was in for a treat.  Internet privacy and personal security have never been more important or threatened as now and – with this in mind – I hope you can allow yourself a few moments to enjoy and learn from this creative music video.
