This is terrible, but the epitome of the society in which Winston lives. He lives his life as a mundane existence and does not care to notice the little details in life. The little details are the ones that get me the most excited in life. However, Winston is worried about not being able to remember the past, but his larger worry should be whether or not he is able to enjoy the everyday details of life. Sad enough, our society really is not too far off from that of the "Utopian" society Orwell created. The bureaucracy of today's world is the largest employeer in the country. The threat of Universal healthcare looms over the heads of many Americans. The free enterprise system is in jeopardy in many situations, including the insurance realm. Maybe Americans should read this book before making accuasations about what is "best" for the country. Just like how the Party was hungary for power, so too are today's political monguls.
