I don’t really know how to write this one as I am not really one of those who report on books.

Just wanna say to y’all who didn’t read the book you should really go get it. It tells the story of a very dark world, where each uniqueness of our world is exaggerated and shaded, where all is inspected, monitored and controlled by a central authority. a centralized world, where nothing is beautiful but one thing - the common truth. How does living in a world like this feels? How far fetched is this world from ours? What is the nature of truth, and freedom?

These are my thoughts. hope that’s working for you.

    Thank you for sharing these links, this is some very interesting context to Orwell and his writing. It seems I read 1984 quite naively, though some things did seem off even then.
