ReviewsOne of the BBC's 100 Novels that Shaped the World "Orwell saw, to his credit, that the act of falsifying reality is only secondarily a way of changing perceptions. It is, above all, a way of asserting power."--The New Yorker "1984 is a profound, terrifying, and wholly fascinating book. It is a fantasy of the political future, and like any such fantasy, serves its author as a magnifying device for an examination of the present."--Lionel Trilling

Must read for all High schoolers and most college students
