Although the year 1984 is hurtling back into the distant past, Orwell's novel Nineteen Eighty-Four continues to have a huge readership and to help shape the world of 2084. Sales of Orwell's terrifying tale have recently spiked because of current worries about alternate facts, post-truth, and fake news. 1984 and Philosophy brings together brand new, up-to-the-minute thinking by philosophers about Nineteen Eighty-Four as it relates to today's culture, politics, and everyday life. Some of the thinking amounts to thoughtcrime, but we managed to sneak it past the agents of the Ministry of Truth, so this is a book to be read quickly before the words on the page mysteriously transform into something different. Who's controlling our lives and are they getting even more levers to control us? Is truth objective or just made up? What did Orwell get right--and did he get some things wrong? Are social media opportunities for liberation or instruments of oppression? How can we fight back against totalitarian control? Can Big Brother compel us to love him? How does the language we use affect the way we think? Do we really need the unifying power of hate? Why did Orwell make Nineteen Eighty-Four so desperately hopeless? Can science be protected from poisonous ideology? Can we really believe two contradictory things at once? Who surveils the surveilors?Binding Type: Paperback

Make your Cappuccinos!
Color: White
I purchased this after a trip to France. I drank a lot of cafe cremes, pretty much like a cappuccino, and decided I need it in my like every day. Easy to use. Didn’t come with instructions but I was able to figure it out. Takes a little time but works well for what I want to achieve. Love the glass pitcher. Doesn’t spill when pouring. It’s very quiet while frothing super easy to clean. I love it!

Great frother
Color: Matte Black
It makes a great milk froth and heats well.
One thing however, in spite of respecting the line limit it spills out and you have to clean the whole thing. So don’t fill it up to the line limit.

Thick foam for Cappuccinos
Color: White-Stainless, Color: White-Stainless
Comes with sevaral options including thin and thick foam, hot milk and cold foam. I used the thick foam for cappuccinos and I was impressed by the consistency. Not so much noise and easy to clean. The frother tools come off easily for cleaning the pitcher.

Very slow--5+ minutes to froth and warm milk
Color: White-Stainless
Pros-- Makes nice froth and warms the milk. Both froth settings produce the same kind of froth.
it's relatively easy to clean-- usually just a strong rinse will do. It does fine in the dishwasher too.
The noise level isn't bad.
Cons--it takes between five and six minutes to froth milk. It is very slow. I can froth latte art milk on my espresso maker in less than a minute, by comparison.
The forth it produces is too thick to make any kind of latte art.

Quality
Color: White-Stainless
What really impressed me is how fast it works—in just a couple of minutes, I have hot, creamy milk with thick, rich foam. The texture comes out smooth and fluffy, just like a coffee shop.
It’s super easy to use, and cleaning it is quick too. I’ve used it for lattes, cappuccinos, and even hot chocolate, and it works perfectly every time.
Definitely worth it if you want something quick, easy, and makes great foam in large amounts
