Francisco Gimeno - BC Analyst Fridman published his reading list in Twitter some weeks ago. One of the books he read is "1984" of Orwell. Not so long ago, during the Pandemic, many saw a dystopian future close to this book or to "Brave New World". Both books take about power and control, either by chemical methods and behaviourism (wolves who lead happy sheep) or by love, terror, thoughts control, passion and acceptance of whatever reality the State says is the true one. In the times we live it's important not just remember these books many have read, but also help new generations to check them, make them aware of what is possible, and how easy is to create a dystopia in a world where frontiers between digital, physical is blurring, reality is an option, narratives are more important than the truth and beauty.
