Readers say *1984* is a compelling, thought-provoking classic that warns against totalitarianism, surveillance, and loss of freedom. Orwell's precise ...
okay YA books, I decided to read the blueprint of all dystopian.
Fantastic book, Winston does everything you’d feel like you’d do. You’re constantly under surveillance and all the people you say 2+2=5. You can’t disagree without consequence.
The people in control of your future can change the past anytime they want.
The only thing I didn’t like about this book is how SIMILAR it feels to what we’re leaning through now in 2025.
A BOOK written in 1949 was considered sooo dystopian and now you see all the warnings about government and manipulation of media come to fruition with the current state of the county.
Forcing everyone to hate an enemy just so they have someone to blame, manipulating history and all the insane propaganda.
Great read, makes you think about everything that’s happening and that had happened at the time to make the author write this as a warning. Loved it
