Eye-opening
This book was simply mesmerising. Preferring to keep off spoilers, the most I can say is that it sounds like something that could very easily have been true. The realists would love to argue, I get it, but imagine if control over humanity was this absolute.Oh, no spoilers lol.Anyhow, I abso-fricking-lutely recommend it if you're into literary fiction.Thanks for going through this.

1984----- Iconic book
One of my most favorite books ... which I studied during my college days as literature and I remember a lot from this book even after 40 years. Though very depressing but one of the classics - satire and political profound and psychologically disturbing. Big Brother is watching you.... has become very relevant in current times. George orwell was way ahead in imagining TV screen , thought reading and even inventing new language -

The Book is beyond expectations! But it's not a Hardcover
George Orwell's 1984 is a timeless classic! I bought the book as per specifications "HARDCOVER", though it is a paperback, the front cover is not same too! But that did not keep me from reading the book. I thought i would return it, but not now!

Kindle edition. Loved it, but a little terrified as well.
Awesome storytelling. Riveting. Believable.A book that shows you the power and the pitfalls of human hope. A contrast to Ayn Rand’s, “The Fountainhead”. Both highlight the importance of a free thinking and progressive society.

1984 or 2024?
Great book.Orwell was either ahead of his time or just aware of the subtle narrative being used during hit lifetime and had an understanding of what could come.Very eye opening to the tactics used in today's political arena.

A Chilling Masterpiece That Still Rings True Today
Though 1984 was written decades ago, it’s shocking how much of it remains relevant today. Orwell’s vision of a dystopian future—where surveillance, censorship, and the manipulation of truth are everyday realities—feels eerily familiar in our modern world. While some aspects may seem a bit dated, so many of the concepts and warnings are now in place today, which makes the book resonate even more.The themes of government overreach, control of information, and the loss of individuality are as poignant now as ever. It’s a thought-provoking read that continues to challenge the way we think about freedom, privacy, and the power of authoritarianism. Orwell was ahead of his time, and 1984 remains a must-read for anyone who enjoys literature that forces you to confront uncomfortable truths about society and humanity.This book truly stands the test of time.

1984
O livro mostra de maneira espetacular como seria uma sociedade dos sonhos dos comunistas, eles sempre se escondem atrás do sonho da sociedade perfeita mais o final é sempre o mesmo: ditadura e censura um pequeno grupo doutrinando e esmagando a maioria e vivendo uma vida de privilégios.
