1984

This is probably one book that was on my TBR list for the longest time. I wasn't sure if I would like it and it felt quite gloomy. When I read an article that the sales of this book had risen unexpectedly after the election, I decided it was time. This time I chose to try an audiobook. This book is a whole scary world unto itself where individualism is punished and groupthink is praised. History is revised based on current circumstances and books are destroyed everyday. As I was going through the book, I realized the reason for its increased sales – it was sounding eerily familiar to the current political climate of fake news, dark money and ultra partisan yes men. Everyone needs to read this book and strive hard individually to make sure our society doesn't end up like Oceania
