"More relevant to today than almost any other book that you can think of”
- Jo Brand.
Rare are the ones who succeed in predicting the future of the world, especially in terms of politics. George Orwell showed how the so-called "Big Brother" controlled people's lives. Orwell addressed interesting issues like government surveillance, totalitarianism, mass media control, beliefs, and other topics that affect people on a large scale. He tells the story of Winston Smith who works for the Ministry of Truth in London. While the political party controlled people's thoughts and actions, Winston was a subtle rebellion against such acts. He kept his thoughts to himself and wrote them on a secret diary.
When he found love with Julia, he started fighting for freedom and justice despite the gravity of the situation.
