Get Out Of My Face, Get Out of My Home: The Authoritarian Tipping Point

As I struggled for my first breath, Orwell was busily writing his vivid dystopian novel, 1984. That was 1948 and he switched the last two digits to get the title. I didn't read it until 1971 when it was essential reading on the youth revolution syllabus. We worried that the lust for power could create an authoritarian all-knowing state. Perhaps it is now time for the younger generation to take this more seriously before it gently creeps up and bites them.
