> Only those who remember the world before 1914 can adequately realize how much has already been lost...
> Bit by bit, and step by step, the world has been marching toward the realization of Orwell's nightmares; but because the march has been gradual, people have not realized how far it has taken them on this fatal road.

I understand that saying something is "just like 1984" is cliche but come on. https://youtu.be/NOk27I2EBac

The game oceania 2084 is a dystopian tabletop roleplaying game. It is based on Orwells famous novel Nineteen Eighty-Four. Check it out!
The game will be crowdfunded later this summer and I aim to release it autumn 2023. Keep it on your radar!

As today is the anniversary of its first publication in 1949, I thought I'd share one of my favourite book cover designs for one of my favourite books
The redacted title can be read if held at a certain angle revealing Nineteen Eighty-Four beneath
I'm not sure if this is by design or poor quality printing but the black boxes wear off the book as you read it. I like to think this is on purpose

Today, April 4, 1984, it was a bright cold day, and the clocks were striking thirteen. Ministry of Truth records editor Winston Smith begins a secret diary, although he is unsure of the true date (Nineteen Eighty-Four, 1984)

Perhaps it was 1984
This is it
'The story takes place in an imagined future in the year 1984, when much of the world is in perpetual war. Great Britain, now known as Airstrip One ...' etc.

“I didn’t try to warn you.
I DID warn you.”
~ George Orwell, unheard,
 but still trying to rub it in,
 from somewhere out there

The coffee I buy costs ÂŁ4.50 and has done for a couple of years, and cost that last time I bought some about two weeks ago. Today it had a reduced price sticker saying it now cost ÂŁ4.50, down from ÂŁ4.75. Gee, thanks Big Brother.

This would help make the literature more understandable by all audiences and more inclusive. #orwell #LeaveBooksAlone #nineteeneightyfour
