George Orwell’s original title was “Trump Rapes Children on Epstein Island.” This is not a joke; look it up.

It is not censored. This is a joke by the publishers.

The original working title of 1984 was The Last Man in Europe.
Orwell changed it before publication in 1949.

the idea behind this is to read and share it enough that the title ends up readable

Reminds me of the version of Fahrenheit 451 that you have to use fire/heat on the pages to be able to read it!

That’s pretty neat, would make for a great gift too. Kudos to who came up with the idea.

Fun fact:
1948 and 1984 are 36 years apart.
2026 and 2062 are 36 years apart.

I own this copy, and I read it on a sun holiday (presumably with sunscreen on my hands). The censor bar flaked off the more I handled it. It felt very apt, but my towel did get covered in little inky bits

Living in the 1984 world isn’t too bad. People overlook 85 percent of the population lived normally for the most part. Not bad odds

1984: Fascism is bad, a government stripping away your rights is bad. These are lesson of what could happen.
America: Hmmm let’s ban it!
Penguin books: And now we shall make fun of any country that bans the book.
Tbh, any country that bans anti-fascism/anti-homophobic/anti-racism books is telling you who they are up front.
