Reason read: It was time for a reread, shared read with granddaughter.
Dystopian novel, by George Orwell, published 1949 and is a story of totalitarian and suppression. It is a political and dystopian book. This book has had lasting influence and even though written many years ago during the cold war still has relevance today; controlling speech and expression has become common practice, and surveillance through monitoring us by cell phone/internet use.
