2+2=5 - JAKE CHAPMAN KARTONIERT (TB)

A much-needed rectification of 1984 offers an all-you-can-eat quinoa buffet of wrongthink. With
2+2=5  George Orwell's flawed masterpiece finally receives a much-needed rectification  as Jake
Chapman takes us on a bad trip into an atrocious alt-Eurasia--a nightmare utopia of 24 7
self-expression  mandatory wellbeing  yogic breathing  and promiscuous empathy. Yippie wonks in
open-toed sandals have ejected the evil capitalist overlords  compassion and charity reign
supreme  buckwheat salad and artisan cashew cheese are in plentiful supply  and all strive to
live their best life  all the time. Employed by the Ministry to rectify misfortunes issuing
from a curious glitch in the system  Winston Smith finds that his creative urges are
unexpectedly awoken  and he is driven to express his deepest place  voice  and hurt through the
medium of poetry. But what connects Winston's furtive scribblings in My Big Book of Me to the
unpleasantnesses emanating from the deep glitch? Is Julia really the perfect kooky carefree
soulmate she seems to be? Can O'Brien be trusted? And when does the new season of Big Brother
start? An all-you-can-eat quinoa buffet of wrongthink  Chapman's twisted vision is a bracing
reminder that dystopia is just wishful thinking  and that the worst can always get worster.
