From 1984 to True Enough

Just from reading the first twenty-five pages of True Enough I feel as though I am on the fast track to learn all about the truth behind the American society.  It is definitely an adjustment from the classic Nineteen Eighty-Four by George Orwell reading wise because True Enough is about the cold hard facts whereas Orwell's novel is more along the lines of a classic story.  I do not consider myself politically savvy whatsoever, however just from reading the first chapter of True Enough, I am definitely interested in learning about how the media has the power to skew what people believe.
