Crash Course Literature #402: 1984 by George Orwell, Part 2

Curated by ACT

In this episode, John Green continues discussing George Orwell's 1984. Today he talks about what the novel 1984 has to say about what some have called today's surveillance society. We'll also look at the idea that language can be used as a means to control people's thoughts. Can something like Newspeak prevent a person from having certain thoughts? I wish I had the words to express how I feel about that. Luckily, John does have the words.
