I don't recall that the book ever states what the year is. "Little Brother" is "1984" for the 21st century, but with more impact. Now, in 2008, a new book of power has emerged. "Uncle Tom's Cabin" and Frederick Douglass' autobiography opened people's eyes to the evils of slavery Anne Frank's Diary taught us that genocide kills innocent young girls "To Kill a Mockingbird" showed us that justice isn't always just and that people should be judged by their character rather than the color of their skin "The Grapes of Wrath" opened our eyes to the plight of migrant farm workers "1984" warned us about the perils of a nanny state. The reason is that books can change the world. There is a reason why totalitarian governments ban books.
