This web-novel is an experiment. It overlays the text of George Orwell's Nineteen Eighty-Four with a story set 40 years from now. Like most science fiction, this work is connected to the problems of our current day: cultural, environmental and political. The real Nineteen Eighty-Four is a book people know without having read: Big Brother, thoughtcrime and doublethink are very much a part of today's popular culture. Twenty Sixty-Four takes the original template as an internet meme, a popular image repurposed and given a different caption. It is satire and speculation, with the hope that our real future is nothing like this one. Asked about Nineteen Eighty-Four, Orwell said he hoped it would not come true, describing his book as a warning. After the recent election, Twenty Sixty-Four reimagines Orwell's classic in the spirit of keeping that intention alive.All Rights Reserved

Will Democracy Survive by urbancowgirl0244

This is a fictional story based on a many actual events both historical and current. Join Anni on a journey through the heart of Florida's ideological battlegrounds as she investigates the roots of school book bans and anti-woke policies. In a state embroiled in controversy, Anni confronts conspiracy and bigotry with unwavering resolve and historical truths. Florida stands among the 18 states that have implemented laws curbing discussions on race, gender identity, and sexual orientation in classrooms. The "Stop W.O.K.E" Act, enacted in 2022, imposes restrictions on educators, prohibiting teachings that might evoke feelings of guilt or anguish among students regarding their racial heritage. Amidst the legislative maze lies a climate of fear and censorship, with the looming threat of civil liability and job loss haunting educators who dare to challenge the status quo. But behind the façade of legalities lurks a deeper battle fueled by far-right groups, exploiting social media and the church pulpit to wage a religious crusade against perceived adversaries, both real and imagined. In this war, casualties abound, with the church and the fundamental rights of citizens caught in the crossfire. 'Anni challenges White-Nationalism and Anti-Woke sentiment' delves into the heart of a struggle for freedom of expression and the preservation of academic integrity in the face of ideological extremism.

There is nothing to fear if you don't make yourself emotionally vulnerable. James has spent the last five years helping to build up a colony of survivors. He believes in the small town they have populated and its mission to save humanity from extinction. He and his small team of men find scattered people and bring them in. Over the last two centuries, women have fought for and won more and more rights, gaining equality with men. Society, law, and technology bolsters and enforces these rights, but now they are gone. Women's equality with men is over. There are just too few of them. They aren't lesser but greater, more important, more valuable than men. Men are expendable. Men can stay outside alone if they like, but all women must be brought inside the safety of the Colony and properly taken care of. James has been searching the area Leah lives in. Her time of solitude is up. Leah sparks something in James he's never felt before. He's not letting this one get away, certainly not twice.
