khula

I've nearly finished this one and I'd recommend it to anyone interested in current events, politics, journalism/media, communications, language, and the like. It's essentially a study on how words and phrases are created by governments, organizations, media outlets, etc. as euphemisms and propaganda, and the negative effects that has on language, society, and, and its core, truth. Practically every topical issue is discussed, and I think most mindful readers will find the sections on such atrocious, misleading phrases like "Intelligent Design," and "War on Terror" equally fascinating and infuriating. There are certainly lags (I found the sections on global warming, "anti-social behavior," and a few others to be surprisingly bland), but for the most part, "Unspeak" is a well-articulated, pointed meditation on propaganda in the modern world. One last note: Orwell fans will find this book particularly chilling. Often when reading a section, I can think of only one word: DOUBLESPEAK.
