"This is amongst the most terrifying books I have ever read... Orwell has no hope, or at least he allows his reader no hope, no tiny flickering candlelight of hope. Here is a study in pessimism unrelieved, except perhaps by the thought that, if a man can conceive '1984', he can also will to avoid it" - Fredric Warburg
