Winston Smith lives in a society where the government controls people every second of the day. He fights this world with love. But it's dangerous: love for another person can be punished by death - and Big Brother is always watching.
Orwell's classic story shows that there is no freedom unless ideas and beliefs can be questioned. This is as true today as when it was written, more than fifty years ago. --back cover
Perhaps if I had read this at high school or at uni it would have had more of an effect on me. Although I like the genre, and other works by Orwell, I feel like I waited too long to read this one it came off as just...meh.
