Memoir of a Writer 
1984 – one on my favorites. My English professor told me a telling detail about this book. Orwell had originally titled it 1948 for the year the book was finished. But his publishing agent told him that his book with that title might cause mass panic. They settled on transposing the numbers. Just thinking that that’s how Orwell saw society then….how much more is our culture taken now by Big Brother and Ideology and Technology…

I’ve been listening to this book about cyber criminals and what not and let me tell you I’m officially paranoid 😂
