<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><i>Twenty Eighty-Four</i> is a futuristic short story consisting of a dialogue between two characters, Joan Rogan the host and Elaine Musk the guest, involved in an imaginary podcast set in the year 2084. The two banter about what they think happened to freedom of speech in the century following the birth of the Internet. It's one part a mockumentary of a popular interview format that emerged during the online era. It's another part a commentary about the challenges to individual freedoms in the technology age. <i>Twenty Eighty-Four</i> presents a fictional podcast as a new subgenre, combining the concepts of a podcast and a theater play.<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br><b>Dr. Joon Yun</b> is president of Palo Alto Investors LP, a hedge fund founded in 1989.
