About this listen

Welcome to 2084.

Be warned: Utopia does not await us.

The dystopian future that George Orwell predicted for 1984 has finally arrived, 100 years late and 10 times as brutal. To save all that he loves, Orwell will have to travel between his future self - Erik Blair, Orwell’s descendant and unwitting heir to his legacy - and the past.

As for Erik Blair, his life plan isn’t overly complicated: Avoid trouble. Avoid pain. And get from one day to the next without attracting the “wrong” kind of attention, which really equates to any kind of attention when the government and its robotic thugs are involved. In this post-apocalyptic world where everyone marches to the beat of the same drummer, Blair - a young man earmarked for a future of compliance and servitude - isn’t volunteering to be anyone’s hero. Unfortunately, life doesn’t always go according to plan.

Not what I expected

Though it contained interesting historical data and important current and future political and technological details, it was more of a disappointing futuristic horror story filled with gore and fantasies, and those parts I didn't expect or enjoy.

The war we fight

So real, so relevant. A must read to understand where we are headed if we don't pause and question everything .

Resistance is NOT futile

1st, Why read this? Because experiencing the world of Erik Blair is psychological training for resisting the tyrannies of the real world. And, because fiction versus faction is often distinguished by timing and degree, not by form, function or meaning.

2nd, I review as a man who once worked for the author, drew my life’s mission and inspiration from his Institute, and personally witnessed his mannerisms, his artful & dystopian desk & wall decor, and his dedication to the philosophical and legal defense of America’s founding principles.

3rd, this foray into creative “factional” writing, to story telling, to applying the ideas that “art imitates life, just as life imitates art,” plants, waters, cultivates and leads to my own harvest in this genre of “influence by any means.”

We NEED more book series’ of this nature as lovers and adherents to the principles and values that made America a beacon of liberty, a safe haven for Faith, a rebel opposed to corporate fascism, political tyranny and oligarchy and a bulwark against collectivist, Marxist, woke Nihilistic surrender.

Impossible for me to separate my understanding of the author and his co-author from the characters in this novel, I smile and wholeheartedly APPROVE of this work. As a review-reader, allocate whatever weight my admission leads you to apply. But know this. Resistance is NOT futile!!!

Time you will never get back

Just horrible. Their narration was too slow the plot was too predictable and beyond belief. It borrowed many ideas from the matrix, contributed nothing new, and ended abruptly. I'm going to ask audible for refund it was just that bad.
