"Who controls the past controls the future. Who controls the present controls the past."
I've read this before but decided to revisit this one again in light of everything going on. I probably would have finished this sooner; however, I had to take breaks due to the current news cycle being A LOT. Orwell's book is one of those key pieces of literature that focuses on dystopias and social criticism; it was a warning published back in 1949 that I guess we didn't quite listen to... The concepts of stamping out individuality, editing the past, changing and limiting language, repressing sexuality and the family unit, constant surveillance, surrendering one's humanity under the guise of safety, etc. in order to establish control. The list, unfortunately, goes on, and it's a very unsettling book to read. I've read it during my preteen years, teen years, and now my adult years, and, while I've gotten new things out of it each time, the constant feeling of unease and worry remains.
