The Web & the Warning — in A Very British Monday
On this day in Protected content , George Orwell published Nineteen Eighty-Four and warned us about Big Brother. Exactly six years later, on 8 June Protected content , Tim Berners-Lee was born — the Englishman who’d go on to invent the World Wide Web and hand Big Brother the perfect tool.
One built it. The other saw it coming. Both were British, naturally.
So put your phone face-down, step away from the screen, and join us for an evening of actual, analogue human connection. Expect good conversation, questionable surveillance jokes, and at least one person quoting “we shall meet in the place where there is no darkness” before the second round.
Newspeak discouraged. Telescreens off. All nationalities welcome — Thought Police included.
