Actually I really loved it, I still think about it because that how our society is becoming and it scares me a lot
It a classic, and I think about it all the time. In light of North and South Korea, and even the upcoming show in Sauid Arabia... but honeslty, it describes kinda how we all experience our own societies to a degree.[MC]
Hana wrote: "I'm struggling..."I read it last year, and it was difficult to get through on its own. I finished it and I think it's worth the read, especially with the political climate in countries around the world.
I read this and Ayn Rand's Anthem a few days apart and I liked this more. They have similar themes, but I think 1984 was able to really paint this bleak society with more clarity--also, even though some of the ideas here may have seemed farfetched when it was written, a lot of it feels very relevant to what's been happening all over the world.
