Thank you. I find it discouraging how much our world today looks like a blend between the worlds of 1984, Animal Farm, Atlas Shrugged, and other novels that were intended as warnings. The socialists that Orwell and Rand feared are using their works as blueprints.

I have read “Atlas Shrugged”, “Animal Farm” and “1984” many times. I just finished listening to 1984 again recently (my eyes suck) and I found it even more disturbing than the other times I have read it.
Also, “The Gulag Archipelago” is an example of living, breathing, reality of what Orwell and Rand were concerned about, and it has (and is) coming true.
