In 1948, George Orwell imagined a future defined by surveillance, conformity, and manipulated truth in his novel 1984. Decades later, that vision feels closer than ever.
As artificial intelligence, big tech, and algorithm-driven platforms shape what we see, think, and believe, an unsettling question emerges: are we drifting toward a modern version of Orwell’s dystopia?
In this episode of Into the Desert, we explore the growing influence of AI, the rise of digital surveillance, and how technology may be reshaping freedom, truth, and human thought itself. Is this progress—or quiet control?
