It’s a classic for a reason! I listened to Audible’s adaptation, and it was very well done. Andrew Garfield does a great job at narrating and portraying Winston (6079) Smith- and the rest of the cast makes it feel so cinematic. I just closed my eyes and listened to the entire adaptation in one sitting.
The public’s collective “memory loss” and rewriting history is incredibly disturbing. I love the inclusion of “new speak” and the complications of strong emotions throughout, and how this book doesn’t take too long to explain how things work in this dystopian world.
I love the conflict and moral questions this book poses- it’s truly something that everyone should read at least once in their adult lives. That ending is not for the faint of heart- yikes! So creepy and scary!

Increible cómo en 1949, fecha en q se publica el libro, nos habla de un futuro (1984) totalmente catastrófico en concepto de libertad. El socialismo ha carcomido la sociedad con ese doble discurso de igualdad donde sólo se favorecen unos pocos. Un un buen libro que asque cuando identificas países donde actualmente ocurre o donde pretenden que ocurra
