Response
‘The Language of (un)Truth’ is a publication that explores how George Orwell’s novel ‘Nineteen Eighty-Four’ has influenced how we view everyday speech, communication during political events, and the language surrounding technological advancements. I focused on deceptive language and the topic of truth that is very relevant in our era of fake news, social media, and populist political leaders. Through aesthetic nods to oppressive regimes and documents of absolute truth, the publication echoes and amplifies Orwell’s encouragement to seek truth in a world overcome with disinformation.
