My personal favorite part of 1984 is “The Book”....The Theory and Practice of Oligarchial Collectivism, by Emmanuel Goldstein.

As I’ve often darkly joked, 1984 is meant to be a warning.....not an instruction manual.

Oh, yeah, that and Brave New World. Keep the masses happy with soma (you know, American Idol, “reality” TV) and the majority of folks really don’t give a hoot in hell what their leaders get up to, as long as the economy stays reasonably good (or has the illusion of it).

Stir in a cup of Atlas Shrugged as well.
