And, 1984 was also supposed to be the "End of the World", which was the dumbest prediction of them all. Orwells book had nothing to do with end times per se. It was a comment on political propaganda, mind control and totalitarianism. However, here in the Bible belt, we had charlatan preachers fear-mongering donations from the faithful, ostensibly because the "End" was nigh.
And the gullible mailed it in by the millions.
