It has been 76 years since "1984," George Orwell's warning about government control, censorship and the corruption of language, was first published.The organizations behind #BannedBooksWeek based this year's theme, "Censorship Is So 1984. Read for Your Rights," on Orwell's sobering story to show we may be closer in real life to his dystopia than ever before.In their own words, five writers − Professor Laura Beers, author and activist Sandra Cisneros (@officialsandracisneros), Professor Michael Shelden, fiction writer Alejandro Varela (@drovarela) and author Clint Smith (@clintsmithiii) − explore whether we can outrun the parallels between our current political moment and Orwell's world, as well as their interpretation of what's actually considered "Orwellian."Tap the 🔗 in bio for the full story. #bannedbooksweek2025 #bannedbooks #bannedbooks #georgeorwell #orwellian
