About this eBook:
- Nineteen Eighty-Four: A Novel, often published as 1984, is a dystopian novel. A startling and haunting novel, 1984 creates an imaginary world that is completely convincing from start to finish. No one can deny the novel's hold on the imaginations of whole generations, or the power of its admonitions—a power that seems to grow, not lessen, with the passage of time.
- George Orwell's timeless and timely allegorical novel—a scathing satire on a downtrodden society's blind march towards totalitarianism. The book tells the story of a group of farm animals who rebel against their human farmer, hoping to create a society where the animals can be equal, free, and happy. Ultimately, however, the rebellion is betrayed, and the farm ends up in a state as bad as it was before, under the dictatorship of a pig named Napoleon. Today it is devastatingly clear that wherever and whenever freedom is attacked, under whatever banner, the cutting clarity and savage comedy of George Orwell's masterpiece have a meaning and message still ferociously fresh.

Side note: many people like to think if there ever was a modern times book burning, the Bible would be the first to go. I think this novel would actually be far more sought after first…

Also I got mine for free due to digital credits. I've read 1984 lots over the past 30 years, like at least 5 times.
Good books. Any Nation is capable of becoming like this, regardless of the political spectrum. I often say that Nations succeed in spite of their leadership and not because of it.... that leadership is corrupt and inept no matter what country you reside in.
Good internal checks and balances written by powerful constitutions keep human nature in check and prevent authoritarianism from rising. Still nothing can totally stop it. The left claim it's the right who are authoritarians but can't see their own authoritarianism it's wild to watch. People get assimilated into their cults and when driven with enough fear can justify any action.
