1984

Absolutely horrific portrayal of a ‘dystopia', where human rights are completely disregarded and quaility of life is non-existant.

I found it particularly disturbing that children can easily betray their parents or that a ‘wanderer' wearing the wrong shoes can be vapourised.

The Party's control over language and history enables its absolute dominance over society. If they control memory; they control history - if they control language; they control thoughts.

A thought-provoking read, and though you may be depressed after reading it - at least you will have the option and the right to read whatever you want.

Big Brother is watching you!
