1984

I realise this book was written like decades ago, but since I read it now I am going to ignore that and judge it as I see it. Which is that I think it???s a trash book and I hate it. Every book that falls under literature either in English or Dutch that I have ever read is totally obsessed with sex and 1984 is no exception. I get that in this particular story desire is important and the whole thing is that it is suppressed. But why does it always need to be this aggressiveness towards sex. He literally talks about wanting to rape this woman. Then later when he miraculously falls in love with her, he tells her that he wanted to rape her. Her reaction is basically ???haha lol I thought you???d say that lmao???
Which brings me to my next point. The characters are vague caricatures of actual people and feel almost non-human. Their interactions and dialogue seem like badly programmed AI. I could not for one second sympathise with them. Thought it is stated in the book that the characters also feel like fake people themselves as is stated in the book, but making that choice seems hella stupid to me. It was unbelievably uninteresting and boring. Why would anyone chose to write characters like that.

Immersion? What???s that? ??? George Orwell

The setting itself seems interesting at first, but the fact that it has about a million plot holes kinda killed that for me. Many things that were interesting weren???t at all explored and other things were totally unclear or illogical. Like the whole porn department thing, which made no goddamn sense. And the proles were probably mentioned maybe 2 or 3 times, when that???s about 85% of the population.
And let???s not forget the fact that this book is basically dipped in the river of blatant sexism, which some racism sprinkled here and there for extra flavour.
The ending is also boring as hell. There are like no consequences except for that he dies, which was already said about 100 pages before that it would happen. But what was the point of this entire story? That resistance is futile? That is first off bullshit in the real world and a wrong as fuck message to send, but also if there was a universe where that was true why would I wanna read about it.
But lets end on a good note. There is one scene that I really like. Where in the middle of a giant speech at a big event the enemy suddenly changes and all the banner that are made are all wrong. So they all act like it was spies who did it and become enraged. That was a really clever thing and shows really well how this world works.

Why anyone thought this was such a good book for it to be considered literature is beyond me. I have read dozens of book better than this.
