Books like this are why i have shunned contemporary authors and am going back to re-read classics. This book is a very compelling and immersive story. Quite horrifying as well but i couldnt help drawing a parallel between the fictional world presented in the story and the countless examples of communist/totalitarian regimes of our time. Clearly Orwell's meant it that way considering his personal viewpoints on politics and he presents a terrible picture of what he feels could be the result of sliding down the slippery slope of socialism/communism towards a totalitarian cradle to grave government.

I highly recommend this book!
