A novel by William Entriken, based on the public domain work of George Orwell with a similar name. This book shows that George Orwell was right all along—he accurately predicted our future, only his word usage needs to be corrected for us to see it.
This repository shares details about my journey in publishing the book on Amazon:
as well as the computer program I made to write the book. The whole book is written by a Perl script with the public domain work as input.
Nineteen Eighteen-Five translated by William Entriken is a modern printing of the classic George Orwell book. Orwell's protagonist battles with his own incriminating #searchhistory, the prying eye of the Social Justice Warriors watching him through his smart device, and is ultimately denounced by the Two-Party System after his Enhanced Interrogations in #GITMO. Throughout his search for the meaning of White Privilege, he wonders if Julian Assange and Wikileaks are real or just another instrument of control by The 1%. Meanwhile The 99% watches as their language is decimated by hashtags and #mansplaining, hoping they can avoid being #canceled.
