1984 by George Orwell

About this event

What if the scariest part of losing your freedom was not noticing it happen?👀 Join us next sept 5th for a deep-dive discussion of George Orwell's dystopian classic, *1984.* Published in 1949, This timeless novel imagines a future where the state doesn't just control what you do, it controls what you think. This is a great pick for anyone who enjoys exploring big ideas but wants to do it in a low-key, casual setting. We're gathering to unpack it together: the psychology, the power, the language, and the parts that feel less like fiction than we'd like to admit. The book's split into three parts. We'll cover Parts 1 and 2 first, and then circle back for Part 3 once we lock down a date that works for everyone. All perspectives are welcome, Some of the best conversations come from people seeing the book differently. Enjoy the book and hope to see you on September 5th ☕️.ೃ࿔📚\*:･ ***IMPORTANT NOTE:*** If you haven't had a chance to read the story or finish reading the chapters, you're more than welcome to join us and listen.
