Orwell’s final warning – Picture of the future
by the time Orwell married Sonia Brown Oh 1984 was written after which he would never leave his bed again but he left one final warning 1984 is I believe a quite terrifying masterpiece so terrifying in fact I don't think I should like to read another like it I'm not absolutely dissatisfied with it I think it is a good idea but the execution would have been better if I had not been under the influence of TB when I wrote it you once claimed that you have an ability to face unpleasant facts is that what you've demonstrated in 1984 by drawing an accurate portrait of the future I think that allowing for the book being after all a parody something like 1984 could actually happened this is the direction the world is going in at the present time in our world there will be no emotions except fear rage triumph and self abasement the sex instinct will be eradicated we shall abolish the orgasm there will be no loyalty except loyalty to the party but always there will be the intoxication of power always at every moment there will be the thrill of victory the sensation of trampling on an enemy who is helpless if you want a picture of the future imagine a boot stamping on a human face forever the moral to be drawn from this dangerous nightmare situation is a simple one don't let it happen it depends on you you
