Orwell's RevengeThe 1984 Palimpsestby Peter W. HuberThe Free Press, 1994 |
Palimp-sest' n. A written document, typically on parchment, that has been written upon several times,
often with remnants of earlier, imperfectly erased writing still visible. Gk. palimpsestos, scraped again.
"Prophesying the future with a style as limpid and elegant as Orwell's, Peter Huber is a polymathic genius of our time. With forensic rigor and narrative flair, he banishes from our culture the long-looming incubus of Orwell's 1984 and opens up new horizons of liberation and hope, growing with the promise of the personal computer and the Internet." -- George Gilder, Author of Wealth and Poverty and Life After Television
