1984

下午5点半从学校回家,一路堵车,百无聊赖,又掏出我的Nokia 6682,继续读《1984》,真正实现了pervasive computing,呵呵。

奥维尔在西方的名气这么大,一点都不奇怪。他的《Animal Farm》和《1984》都是对共产主义集权赤裸而夸张的描述,极投合西方自由国家对苏俄的想象。尤其是《1984》,以爱情的美好对比集权的冷酷,基本是好莱坞的路数了。

路上读到一段讲人民群众如何对付政治宣传,联想到现实,很有感慨:

By lack of understanding they remained sane. They simply swallowed everything, and what they swallowed did them no harm, because it left no residue behind, just as a grain of corn will pass undigested through the body of a bird.
