1. Orwell's Ghosts
A concise examination of George Orwell’s life and ideas, showing how his warnings about propaganda, political language, nationalism, and surveillance illuminate contemporary struggles with disinformation, populism, and culture wars. Drawing on his experiences and writings—from Spain to Animal Farm and Nineteen Eighty-Four—it explains how voices across the political spectrum invoke his legacy, and argues for reclaiming his humane, democratic socialist commitment to truth and decency as a guide for the present.
