4.5

Profoundly unsettling, deeply moving, and eerily realistic. Few books leave such a lasting impression. 1984 is essential reading once in a lifetime. What’s most chilling is how much this dystopia feels like a fever dream brought to life, and how much insight it still offers into our world today.
