Why it endured
George Orwell's definitive dystopian novel — a vision of totalitarianism so precise and prophetic that it gave us the language we still use: Big Brother, doublethink, thoughtcrime, Room 101. Required reading for understanding political power.

“I read 1984 by George Orwell before and it's one of my favorite books. It was a book that really left that impact on me and the meaning and the story tied together really gripped me and I think about it a lot.”
