Orwell’s Future Is Now
In 1949, when George Orwell published 1984, he predicted that every home would have a screen watching and tracking our every move. He was right—except it’s worse than he imagined. Instead of TV screens, we now carry phones everywhere we go, voluntarily exposing ourselves to constant surveillance and subtle manipulation.
This week on RCR 360, Alistair Harding and Maree Buscke uncover the chilling truth about digital manipulation and the hidden forces shaping our thoughts and decisions. They speak with Dr. Robert Epstein, who reveals how search engines and algorithms influence what we see and believe, and David Charalambous, who exposes the psychological tactics designed to control and steer behaviour.
From algorithmic bias to data harvesting and social engineering, this conversation reveals how deep the manipulation goes—and what it means for the future of free thought.
Orwell’s future isn’t coming—it’s already here.
