The illustrations add to the sense of dread and hopelessness of the story. Even after all these years, 1984 is as revelant as ever. I sure wish it wasn’t.

This book explores the struggle between totalitarianism and humanism. As a lesson to be learned, it emphasizes the frightening possibilities of absolute dominance while highlighting the agony endured by poor Winston Smith. Not a happy ending. They really fucked him up
