1984

I have heard about it and virtually everyone understands the big brother references. It is worth reading to really understand the reference. It is oddly remincent of the movie the Matrix. (I know that 1984 was written long before the Matrix, but I saw the Matrix long before I read 1984.)

Clearly there is a undercurrent about the meaning of truth and postmoderism going on in the book. What is odd is how dated the book feels in regard to socialism. Capitalism is pretty much not mentioned, but the socialism of the book is gone and has been for a long time now. I would be interested to have someone write a capitalist focused 1984.
