Orwell's Revenge
The 1984 Palimpsest
Book • 2015
In this book, Peter Huber boldly reimagines George Orwell's 1984 from the computer's point of view.
After scanning all of Orwell's writings into his personal computer, Huber used the machine to rewrite the book, largely using Orwell's own language.
The result is a fascinating utopian work that advances Orwell's plot to a new conclusion, seamlessly interpolating Huber's own explanations and arguments.
This work challenges Orwell's dystopian vision, instead envisioning a world where technology enhances creativity, information, and personal liberty.
