It has been 60 years since Nineteen Eighty-Four was first published. This classic dystopian novel by George Orwell is one of my favorite pieces of literature.
My favorite quotation, from a Investigator’s or Researcher’s perspective, follows:
And if all records told the same tale — then the lie passed into history and became truth.”
The chances of all records telling the same story is very slim in our world — that is why secrets don’t last very long and why our views of historical events change over time as new information comes to light. The diligent Investigator searches for the records and testimonies that tell a different story.
