Just wanted to take a second to ask you guys, have any of you ever read it? I read it once, then asked my teacher if I could do my project on it. Personally I enjoyed it, even though my favorite books were all written by French authors.

George Orwell (real name: Eric Blair, an English guy) wrote the book in 1948/49 about 1984. It is a world where the government controls everything, and well, Winston has hope in the proper (proletariats - google it) that they will revolt. I suck at explaining, but it's my favorite book, even though it is dystopian, and good loses versus evil. It's like a warning, expect no super far fetched technology like flying cars lol.
READ IT NAO!!!!
EDIT: forgot to say this, but my friend defined it as "A social critique of an over controlled world"
