Annotated presented by Hachette Book Group is Book Riot’s new audio documentary series about books, reading, and language.
The first episode, “Is it 1984 yet?” traces the recent rise of the not-new 1984 to the number one spot on Amazon’s best-selling books list. Jeff and Rebecca explore the backstory of 1984, from how it became stock high school reading to its CIA-supported appearance on the silver screen, to how, seemingly, a January 22nd news interview thrust it back into our collective consciousness as the example of a political nightmare.
Annotated can be downloaded for free from Apple Podcasts, Google Play, or your podcatcher of choice.
