1984

Perfection! That's how I would describe this book. The Emmanuel Goldstein book, near the end of 1984, is just the best piece of dystopian literature ever written. The tools for mass population brainwashing are all there. Although based on socialist Russia, we can see how many of the books elements can be applied throughout history and specially today. Keeping people miserable and ignorant is a powerful tool to keep the ruling class in power. And if you think they're not suffering enough, double it down!
