Twenty Eighty-Four

Twenty Eighty-Four is a futuristic short story consisting of a dialogue between two characters, Joan Rogain the host and Elaine Mosk the guest, involved in an imaginary podcast set in the year 2084. The two banter about what they think happened to freedom of speech in the century following the birth of the Internet. Its one part a mockumentary of a popular interview format that emerged during the online era. Its another part a commentary about the challenges to individual freedoms in the technology age. Twenty Eighty-Four presents a fictional podcast as a new subgenre, combining the concepts of a podcast and a theater play.
