George Orwell: Nineteen eighty-four review

Written in 1949, George Orwell's Nineteen eighty-four is dystopian description of a totalitarian future we might be living in.
It paints a scary image of the Party, which controls everything with government surveillance, even the thoughts of its people. The war is ongoing reality - only the enemy changes. And whenever something changes in the present, there are people hired to change the past to correspond the present.

You all know the Big Brother? This is the book he came from.

Alan Moore might have got some inspirations to his V for Vendetta from Orwell's alternative depiction of history. If you like Moore's graphic novel, you'll like this, even though in this book the hope is yet to be seen.
