Just finished reading George Orwell's 1984.
I had been putting off reading this book for quite some time.
After seeing it mentioned repeatedly online and how its relevance to today's world is increasing, I decided it was time to read it. I definitely see why it's being labeled a "dystopian classic".
In the novel, art, love, and genuine emotions are seen as threats to the omnipresent Big Brother. The regime's primary goal is to maintain power and suppress differentiation by controlling and manipulating every aspect of human life.
Thinkpol closely monitor for "thought crimes" and exert control over people's thoughts and emotions.
Fear tactics, propaganda, invasive surveillance, and psychological manipulation are all tools utilized by the oppressive government.
It's alarming to realize that there are real countries today that closely resemble the dystopian world described in the book.
