A review of the filum 'Orwell: 2+2=5' (about the genesis of Orwell's novel '1984') that I viewed at The Little Theatre, Bath last week.
I highly recommend seeing the documentary about Eric Arthur Blair's last book - it's more than ever apposite as a warning, as Tech Bro Billionaires finally have the technical means by which to subjugate we Proles...

Apropos of which - Philip Ball on the myth of the neutrality of technology. Surprisingly, Peter Thiel and Palantir, and other Tech Bro Oligarchs & Billionaires do not come out of the dunking smelling of roses. (Doncha love how Musk, Thiel &c echo the extremist views of the ultra-Utilitarians, the Effective Altruist-wallahs who insist that all decisions should be made to benefit the quintillions of humans who will spread thru the Cosmos not today's Proles) #UKpol #USpol https://www.thenewworld.co.uk/philip-ball-the-dangerous-myth-of-neutral-technology/?utm_campaign=968afe29-39e7-45b6-a2e0-e403e0d51196&utm_source=1234589
