1984

I've read this book wanting to fully understand the concept "Orwellian". I was always able to conceputualize the idea of "Big Brother" but never really full understood.

This book certainly fufilled that quest for knowledge, and masterfully described a dystopian outome potentially arising from a outbreak of fascism. A perfect example of storytellying using a relatively plausible future arising from the Nazi regime and the rise 20th century authoritarianism.

My former favorite book (before I discovered The Moon is Down). I first read it in high school. I liked it better in my youth, when it appealed to the teen angst in me, but still a classic for a reason.
