Amazing.
An incredible depiction of what living under a dystopian dictatorship where the government could control your every move would look like, with an unpredictable twist.
I was not expecting the ending at all!
It’s really impressive to think that this book was written so many years ago but in 2019 it’s still more contemporary than ever.
I totally loved it, especially the ending.

Until they become conscious they will never rebel, and until after they have rebelled they cannot become conscious.
