       @bobdobberson Another big theme in 1984 is the suppression of memory/history. It seems to me that when I was young there was still a collective memory of the horrors and privations of WWII, and the fear of repeating them, which maybe doesn't exist so strongly today. To what extent that has been politically engineered out of us, or whether it is just that decades of peace (in the West) has made people naturally more reckless I'm still not sure.
