Orwell's Revenge: The 1984 Palimpsest Review: A full map of the 2020 Political situation. - Huber is brilliant. While 1984 itself predicts some of our 2020 political concerns, this 1996 book updates Orwell's story by adding the explosion of the internet's huge communications and database collection technology. Orwell's telescreen was important to the development of the original 1984, but today's global, cheap/free communications adopted by everyone goes beyond what Orwell wildly imagined. In 1995 Microsoft Windows 95 included a standard internet browser for the first time. The fact that Huber published only a year later is a tribute to Huber's insight. It's not an easy read as it mixes updated text and original text without explanation. Consider pulling out your dog-eared 1984 from years ago to follow along. Conservatives and liberals may find that they are both actually lead by mass communications, fake news, politicians, Ministries of Truth, and giant corporations. Costly, wars between major powers are ended in a single day by decree rather than military action. Review: Not quite right - While the author is correct that Orwell held some very wrong views (more so before writing 1984) and that it is not technology that will make us subservient to a authoritarian dictator, it is a little difficult to claim that 1984 didn't happen with a straight face. We have multiple government agencies that LITERALLY save a copy of everything we've ever done online or digitally on our phones and can access it anytime without even the fake pretense of a FISA warrant. Also see: Edward Snowden, WIKI-Leaks, Letter from the deep state to the NYT, the exile of Julian Assange, and William Binney (https://www.desertcart.com/Good-American-William-Binney/dp/B071DJXF7L). ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #2,179,034 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #47 in History of Books #162 in Science Fiction & Fantasy Literary Criticism (Books) #218 in Science Fiction History & Criticism | | Customer Reviews | 3.8 3.8 out of 5 stars (43) | | Dimensions | 6 x 0.96 x 9 inches | | Edition | First Edition | | ISBN-10 | 1501127705 | | ISBN-13 | 978-1501127700 | | Item Weight | 15 ounces | | Language | English | | Print length | 384 pages | | Publication date | June 30, 2015 | | Publisher | Free Press | ## Images ![Orwell's Revenge: The 1984 Palimpsest - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71CeU3UqFRL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A full map of the 2020 Political situation. *by P***T on February 6, 2021* Huber is brilliant.

I found the divergence in between the story to be both interesting from the perspective of analysis of orwells thinking and writings, but also annoying as I kept having to go back and adjust back to the story line. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.tn/products/16386280-orwells-revenge-the-1984-palimpsest](https://www.desertcart.tn/products/16386280-orwells-revenge-the-1984-palimpsest) --- *Product available on Desertcart Tunisia* *Store origin: TN* *Last updated: 2026-07-09*
