About this listen

He warned us. We didn’t listen.

George Orwell wasn’t just the author of 1984 and Animal Farm — He was the man who saw it all coming.

From the jungles of British Burma to the slums of Paris, from the trenches of the Spanish Civil War to the propaganda halls of the BBC, Orwell lived through the machinery of power — and spent every ounce of his voice trying to tear it apart.

Orwell: The Man Who Warned Us is a literary biography that doesn’t just tell you who Orwell was — it shows you how he became one of the most dangerous writers in history.

Through war, poverty, surveillance, and censorship, Orwell’s story is more than history. It’s instruction. If you want to understand the world we live in — and how close we are to the one he feared — this is where to begin.
