This is awesome and scary. Written in 1907, but could have easily been done today, by any of us. 1984 is a crock of shit compared to this.
Thanks for this. I'll be reading it, and maybe asking my book club to do the same.
Jack London is awesome. When I was little I loved White Fang and The Call of the Wild (though I didn't quite understand the messages underlying). I have a collection of his short stories, including one about this guy who invests all the money he has in a large load of eggs, which he painstakingly transports all the way to Alaska, only to be beaten/killed when the town finds out they're all rotten.

Wow, he really plays the innacurate interpretations in the foot notes well.
I'm saddened by the possibility that there will be no tamales 600 years from now.
Hey, I just found this

Got all his short stories, it seems.
It says selected stories
but it seems like they have them all
or at least very close to it

Bumping for relevance.
