While I had trouble getting through the book, it dragged on sometimes, it is a must read. It is depressing but many concepts related to Big Brother watching and controlling all aspects of our life sometimes feel valid to current times. Consider watching the movie, pretty good adaptation and much shorter.
1984
1984 is the year in which it happens. The world is divided into three great powers. Oceania, Eurasia, and Eastasia, each perpetually at war with the other. Throughout Oceania, 'The Party' rules by the agency of four ministries, whose power is absolute – the Ministry of Peace, which deals with war, the Ministry of Love (headquarters of the dreaded Thought Police), which deals with law and order, the Ministry of Plenty, which deals in scarcities, and the Ministry of Truth which deals with propaganda. The authorities keep a check on every action, word, gesture or thought.
