ACOFAE Podcast Presents: 1984: "War is peace. Freedom is slavery. Ignorance is strength." ACOFAE doubles down with fatherly feelings as they dive into 1984 in memory of Jessica's loss. Honoring family in her own special way, Jessica Marie explores 1984 for the first time along with Laura Marie who has read the book several times over the years. Winston lives in Air Strip One, formally London, and is unsettled. He has feelings of discontent and that cannot be tolerated. A world that is filled with double speak, Big Brother, and the perpetual state of War Winston finds himself seeking out love, freedom, and revolution in a world that is constantly watching you. A book that is filled with ideas that have become too real for 2026, 1984 shows us that we must know our past, our selves, and our minds because history is editable.
