Someone Else's Song

I'm sure I'm not the first to have this idea, but I think whoever owns the publishing rights to Orwell's 1984 (*) should release it with the title "2007," and edit it in such a way that every use of "1984" is replaced with "2007."
Change some names around (e.g., Iraq for Eastasia) and generate some buzz. Call it "The Memory Hole Edition."

I'd buy it. And I have a crap job in a craphole city.

1984 has always been called 2007.


* It's Sunday Morning and I'm too damn lazy to look this up myself.
