1984

While very craftfully written, this could be a bit of a heavy read. There is a clear depth to writing and the story plays out in three distinct parts - the world build (with themes incredibly far ahead of its time), the love story (which feels a bit dragged out), and the endgame (which is easily the best part). The deep dives into philosophy, psychology, and dystopia are extremely well explored and touches on issues from more angles than the average person should be able to think of. But while the detail of the society, the language, and the inner-workings are extravagant, there is a bit of textbook feel to the flow (not the content) at times.
