A mandatory classic book. I can not understand how Orwell published this piece in 1949 and how it still works in 2020. The manipulation of media and the power of the elite have not changed and it still the same. He was so ahead of his time.

“Sometimes, Winston. Sometimes they are five. Sometimes they are three. Sometimes they are all of them at once. You must try harder. It is not easy to become sane” Pg. 197
