"His writing is brilliant, of course (as one would only expect from someone who penned "Politics and the English Language"). Even more arresting is his depth of insight. He was prescient in describing cultural phenomena that we see happening today: An incoherent, "Black is White" style of communication from our leaders, a war with an invisible enemy and an indefinite end, etc. As the years progress, this book astonishes me more and more.
