A group of farm animals revolt against their human master to establish an egalitarian society, only to have their revolution betrayed by the pigs who become as tyrannical as the humans they replaced. The story serves as an allegory for the Russian Revolution and the rise of Stalinism.

🎤 Pre-recorded samples
Why pick Animal Farm for the demo?
It is short, tightly plotted, public domain in most jurisdictions, and every major character has a clear stake in the revolution — or a clear reason to betray it. That makes it ideal for counterfactuals: change one thing early and the whole arc bends in a way you can argue about.
Is the demo using the real book text?
No. The app uploads a PDF, extracts the cast and their personalities, and the characters then speak from those extracted profiles. Nothing any character says in the debate is a quote from Orwell — every line is generated by an AI playing that character.
Who actually wins at the end of the book?
Nobody the reader is asked to root for. The pigs win power, the humans keep their farms, and the working animals lose everything they fought for. Orwell leaves the farm permanently worse off than it started — which is precisely why the 'what if' questions hit so hard.
