I don’t really know how to write this one as I am not really one of those who report on books.
Just wanna say to y’all who didn’t read the book you should really go get it. It tells the story of a very dark world, where each uniqueness of our world is exaggerated and shaded, where all is inspected, monitored and controlled by a central authority. a centralized world, where nothing is beautiful but one thing - the common truth. How does living in a world like this feels? How far fetched is this world from ours? What is the nature of truth, and freedom?
These are my thoughts. hope that’s working for you.
A rapist, a snitch, a plagiarist, and a racist walks into a bar. The bartender asks; “How’s the new book coming along Mr. Orwell?
But that’s four people…
Was that supposed to be some sort of joke or do you actually not know Orwell himself was: a rapist, a snitch, a plagiarist, and a racist? One man, four horrible qualities.
I think there are many other versions of the same story that aren’t plagiarized, aren’t written by horrible humans, and are also better written.
Personally, I’m fond of Aldous Huxley’s Brave New World. I haven’t read it, but you can skip Orwell’s plagiarizing and go to the source and read Yevgeny Zamyatin’s We.
