In 1984 he re-wrote and edited it on his Radio Shack TRS 80 personal micro-computer as a tribute to the ‘world-gone-mad’ predictions of George Orwell. In 1996 after the miraculous transition of South Africa in the democratic elections of 1994, he re-edited it on his IBM PC. In 1998 he printed two copies.
