Writers Jam

2 + 2 = 5

The theme for February is 2 + 2 = 5. You are encouraged to get creative with the theme.

This edition's theme comes from a popular refrain from George Orwell's dystopian classic Nineteen Eighty Four. It is one of the slogans used by the Party in the book to further their ideas. If you haven't read the book already, I urge you to do so this month (if you need to figure out how you can read it, let one of the admins know).

Write about mathematics as sedition, or about controlling the masses. Tell us how you feel about the world right now. Is two plus two five already?

This is a longer theme than usual. I'm experimenting with this format of the description where I include ideas to get you started. Do let us know how you like it!
