Saw a number of free books on Apple Books and was wondering if I could get them on my Kindle. Every single one I tried was DRM-free other than 1984.

    Government surveillance is only what the zeitgeist has turned 1984 into. It isn’t really the focus of the book. Sure, it’s there, but it isn’t the largest thing. The thing is, it’s much better for the media to tell you that it’s just about government surveillance rather than you actually learning what it’s about, which is really also more what it’s about. Now that’s irony.
