Matt Smith reads Geroge Orwell's 1984 for the modern day
Dr Who and The Crown star Matt Smith reads George Orwell’s ‘Nineteen Eighty-Four’ as ‘Twenty Twenty-One’, which has been re-released by Avast (LSE:AVST), a global leader in digital security and privacy.
With the copyright expiring this year, the updated version has all 1984 date references amended to 2021, to contextualise the novel into a modern setting and to highlight the complexities and dangers of online surveillance in today’s society. ‘Twenty Twenty-One’ demonstrates the similarities between our modern connected lives and many of the hyper-surveillance themes Orwell predicted over 70 years ago.
