I presumed Orwell was inspired by the UK and not the other way around
- dTal 5y agoOrwell was inspired by - directly referencing, really - the Soviet Union. It's set in the UK for ironic contrast.
- tweedledee 5y agoIn 1984 I’d say he was more inspired by his time working for the UK government in Burma. Particularly the use of propaganda to control the population.
