Orwell: The Man Who Saw The Future

George Orwell remains a visionary author whose works are incredibly relevant today, as his insightful critiques of totalitarianism, surveillance, and the manipulation of truth resonate with our modern world. In books like 1984 and Animal Farm, Orwell warned of the dangers of unchecked government power, propaganda, and the erosion of individual freedoms—issues that are evident in current societal and political dynamics.

Orwell's ability to depict the fragility of truth and the importance of intellectual freedom makes his work enduringly significant.
