The evening consists of three 20-minute presentations.
My talk is titled "I LOVE 1984: George Orwell Vs. VH1"
Description: People throw around the term “Orwellian”, but could it be
that basic-cable pop-culture clip-shows best capture the spirit of Orwell’s
dystopian future? Kevin Maher shares his personal experiences writing
for talking-head clip shows, comparing the popular format to the
“perversions and swindles” that George Orwell feared. The presentation
includes awesomely bad double-speak and a visit to Kevin’s own version
of room 101.
