Deal Details
Various Retailers have 1984 by George Orwell (75th Anniversary Edition, eBook) on sale for $1.99.

Thanks to Deal Hunter phoinix for finding this deal.

Available:About this eBook:
  • 75th Anniversary Edition
  • In 1984, London is a grim city in the totalitarian state of Oceania where Big Brother is always watching you and the Thought Police can practically read your mind. Winston Smith is a man in grave danger for the simple reason that his memory still functions. Drawn into a forbidden love affair, Winston finds the courage to join a secret revolutionary organization called The Brotherhood, dedicated to the destruction of the Party. Together with his beloved Julia, he hazards his life in a deadly match against the powers that be.
  • Lionel Trilling said of Orwell's masterpiece, "1984 is a profound, terrifying, and wholly fascinating book. It is a fantasy of the political future, and like any such fantasy, serves its author as a magnifying device for an examination of the present." Though the year 1984 now exists in the past, Orwell's novel remains an urgent call for the individual willing to speak truth to power.

The only difference between the book and now is that in the book they had entire wall size screens, whereas we are satisfied with little 6 inch ones.
Title might as well be 2024.

Quote from shape107 :
A lot of misinformation in that book.
Two Five Fifteen Forty-four (lol) people who love the premise (predictably) disapprove of this message.

I recommend the Audible Only version. Andrew Garfield and the cast were awesome, I was freaking out while driving

The digital version is best because government can make corrections so easily.
