A while back, I read the book 1984, and I must say I loved it!
My favourite part of the book was when the geopolitics of the world was being explained. It explained how the Russian-based USSR and American-based USA were vastly different, yet similar down to the names. The so-called USSR, home of our Muscovite protagonist, who claimed to be a communist state in-progress, yet it was nothing but an overreaching beaurocratic shithole. The USA, on the other hand, claimed to be a democratic, free-market society, yet it was a corrupt corporatocracy where politicians could be easily bought.
Also, the two countries were locked together in a so-called "Cold War" where they never directly fought each other, but funded local governments and guerrillas around the world in the name of their imperialistic interests.
I just want to know what everyone thinks of this book.
