Hello everyone, and welcome to Books Undone. I'm your host, Livia J. Elliot, and today we will discuss Newspeak, the fictional language that is under development in the famous novel 1984, written by George Orwell. It's a classic dystopia, but it is so deep, that I couldn't fit it entirely in a single chapter... so today, we'll only focus on language-related elements.

Full disclosure: there are spoilers in this podcast, but more importantly, what you will hear is my subjective opinion of it. You are allowed and entitled to disagree and differ.
