Digital Dystopias: Orwell's 1984 and the Internet Age
Description changed:
Come to the first of our series of talks given by members of the ORG community. We'll be kicking off with a session on surveillance and totalitarianism in literature, and how the nightmarish world of George Orwell's '1984' can still be seen as relevant for the digital age. The talk will be lead by Dr. Simon Willmetts, lecturer in American Studies at the University of Hull. There will time for a Q&A afterwards before we de-camp to the pub. Please come along and bring any interested friends.
