    I always thought Winston’s job, of literally rewriting history, would be an impossible task.

    They already are getting rid of the history of slavery. Banning it from schools, museums, etc.

      Exactly. It’s not so much that they even have to rewrite history, just bury it good enough. Make the real stories difficult to find and suck the desire to learn out of kids so they grow up ignorant and easy to control.

      Guaranteed there are tons of AI autobiographies being written by “slaves” who miss their mastuh and want to go back to the good life on the plantations, where everything was provided for them. As one example. And definitely tons more in the erotic category.
